Unfortunately, a kid sick with measles will make other kids sick including those who were immunized. The kids who were immunized will be less sick but will be sick just the same. And what about people who have compromised immune systems.
The rule of a true libertarian should be: I can do whatever I want as long as it doesn’t harm you or anyone else. Unfortunately, this rule doesn’t always apply and their actions do end up hurting others.
Yah, but if the thing mutates because it’s being passed from host to host, vaccinations are irregular and not wide-spread, and I GET SAID MEASLES, I get to go to those folks’ houses who didn’t vaccinate their rug rats, and punch them so hard in the face that when they wake up their clothes will be out of style.
Right?
Otherwise, it’s no deal. I don’t want to force anybody to do anything unless it can directly effect me in a strongly negative way. I’d say this qualifies.
