[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous] No, you cannot and you will not vaccinate every single person.  It's literally impossible to control.  There is nothing new about this.  I do not understand the degree of coverage this gets.

You certainly could vaccinate every single person. I mean, of course a few people could evade the requirement, fib, lie, falsify their vax records.

But yes, we could have a public health law that required everyone to be vaccinated for certain diseases.  It could be a requirement for school, college, work, even voting (would need a constitutional amendment I think for that one.)[/quote]

The fact that so many people are not stupid and are voluntarily vaccinated have allowed for others to have personal freedoms in the public health space that would have been unthinkable a century ago. My grandmother - born in 1911, deceased now - used to tell us the story of coming home from school one day and there was a big red sticker on the door. Her brother had scarlet fever and he was quarantined along with her mother. She couldn't enter the house and had to stay with a neighbor until her brother recovered.[/quote]

My mom almost died from diphtheria before vaccinations were available; she got me every vaccine she could at the time. I unfortunately was a child before we had mumps and chicken pox vaccines, and I was hospitalized with the chicken pox because it invaded my lungs.

People seem to want to go back to the "bad old days" when significant numbers of children died. [/quote]
