A Red Cross employee asked me to wear a mask even though I had Covid and recovered and have been vaccinated.
She said there is a sick person in the hallway coughing.
I am not responsible for some sick person. They are responsible for themselves.
Then she says this pandemic would be over if everyone just wore a mask. I reminded her that viruses never go away. We still have measels, mumps, etc even though we have mass vaccinations.
She said is it crazy that people refuse to wear a mask.
I told her that it is crazy to believe you can control the behavior of 8 billion people.
The Supreme Court has upheld mandatory vaccination. (Jacobson v. Massachusetts, 197 U.S. 11 (1905))
We accept mandatory vaccination of children before they enter school. This has been upheld by the SCOTUS on numerous challenges.
I think this horse left the barn long, long ago.
We have gone from quarantine the sick to quarantine the healthy.
We have gone from vaccinate the vulnerable to mandatory vaccination.
Individual liberty has been shredded on this subject for a century.
Got an email at work requiring a reply...
Vax?
No vax?
Choose not to disclose
I elected the third option.
The reasoning parallels your point.
Also, once I open the door to medical info, this might waive future privacy rights.
Have to be cautious
I agree 100%.
All medical treatments are a choice and can not be forced.
Doesn’t matter if someone is for or against vaccinations.
We all stand to lose if vaccines become forced on to people.
It’s a step towards forced other medical treatments, including abortions for example, if we allow any medical care to become a mandate.
I.D.s or “passports” to signify ones vaccine status is a direct privacy violation and again a prelude to more nefarious actions.
The Constitution means everything and I’m tired of Leftist ignoring it.
We can’t allow chipping away little by little.
