What is the consensus on mandatory vaccines?

[javadog]

Back to the subject at hand, I think vaccines are increasingly a bad idea. This article sheds some light as to why:

No, because most of the people committing gun violence are already criminals who can't legally own a gun, and most of gun violence is in areas controlled by dems. So what you are really saying is get rid of the dems since that is where most of the crimes take place.

Specifically what is "misinformation?" Also, thank you for illustrating his point so well

What about people who can't?

Neither does mandating investigational gene therapy

Ha, funny

Once they get full approval the military will make them mandatory.

Once they get that they will make it mandatory for everyone. I guarantee it

Wow, yet another comment without any substance.

Care to share why do you think it’s wrong? Do you know more about these things than Dr. Malone? By all means, share your expertise. Let us know how you required that expertise, so that you might seem more credible.

By law, they must give medical and religious exemptions.

Law, seriously? Clearly illegal is no deterrent at all

They can't put in the policy (and the policy has been legal for decades) without those specific exemptions.

Graduate degrees in biomedical engineering and a lengthy career in biotechnology.

I suppose this could end up going to basement, but thought it was worth a shot.

MODERATOR:

I suggest moving this to the "Off Topic: Politics and Religion" forum.

OK, but the biomed engineers that used to work for me didn’t get anywhere near a virology lab. Maybe you’re different.

Back to my original point, what’s your beef with what he has to say? Be specific.

This provides several salient points: https://www.logically.ai/articles/who-is-dr.-robert-malone

This is an extremely stupid thread. No, there should not be a mandate and there won’t be. If you’re stupid enough to not get the vaccine then you will have to deal with the consequences handed out from privately owned businesses, schools, etc… oh yeah, also you run the risk of getting gravely ill.

Fine but I’m not buying several of the things that little fact check put out. I won’t bore you with the details of it, let’s just say we don’t see eye to eye on Dr. Malone.

Never going to happen.

A mandate is simply another word for suggestion.

I highly doubt many businesses will make it mandatory once they realize their workman’s comp will have to pony up for those affected by the vax.
