If there were an HIV vaccination, even though I’m married, a proud Grandpa of 7 (and likely greater) grandkids - I’d roll my sleeve up to get the HIV shot.
I’d rather have 30 seconds of a inconvenience, than risk getting something that will slowly kill me, and potentially kill my wife - or be spread accidentally to those around me.
Laws exist to protect the innocent and helpless. How many lives will the HVP vaccine save? There’s really no way of knowing, until a couple decades pass and the data rolls in. How many lives will this cost? So far, none.
Would I legally mandate a HIV vaccine? In a heartbeat.
OK, but what if the HIV vaccination had a 5% chance of killing you?
What if it had a 1% chance of killing you? 0.1%? 0.01%?
At what percent do you decide that the risk of the vaccine is less than the risk of HIV?
If a vaccine was completely safe, the only question would be whether it was worth spending money for it. And I’d probably take every vaccine there was.
But NO vaccine is 100% safe. And some are more risky than others.
And a law that says you can't get the vaccination because you're so old that you would be doing the system a favor by getting sick and dying is just as wrong as a law that says you MUST get the vaccination regardless of the likelihood that you will be at risk of exposure.
Okay, so you’ve made it clear that you are part of the homosexual lobby. Whether you know it or not.
