I have an even better way to say this.
You ask the question “If you want the vaccine, you go pay to get the vaccine?”
The OPT-IN policy as you have described it is THE FREE MARKET, CAPITALIST way. If someone thinks it’s a good thing for them to get (and government and others can encourage them to get it if they think it’s good), they can get it.
The OPT-OUT policy is the Big Brother, Statist way to do it.
The state assumes you’ve said yes and it’s up to you to correct this. The state’s assumption results in it generating incorrect data - because it never asked you directly, but you have to wind up dealig with the state to get that changed. The onus to correct the state’s wrong assumption gets put on you to fix. All hail the ever-knowing, ever-right state.
You really want the numbskulls who “run things” to ever assume you want stuff you’ve never said yes to, and maybe haven’t even studied to your satisfaction? Stuff that is optional, you’re not in danger of dying, that kind of stuff.
OPT-IN policy is free market.The way I see this, Mr. Perry must clearly renounce opt-outs and other such instances of Daddy-Statism, or Big-Corporate-Daddy-Statism.OPT-OUT is Big Brother Statism.
I see Perry aligned like a Christie, a Bloomberg is this matter. Or like any police chief or officer telling citizens to let professionals handle all instances of crime and possible crime. Makes men weak. The big daddy state operating in a nation where Dads are missing in the lives 40% of new born citizens is NOT a good thing.
We have to FORCE men to be real Dads, and force women to seek to gain them.
This so-called trivial battle over a Perry's HPV EO, is actually a much bigger issue.
