re: Why make vax mandatory?

However herd immunity is a real thing. Your decision to not get immunized DOES affect other people.

Think about your logic as it applies to other viruses like smallpox and polio. No vaccine is perfect so if the fewer people running around infected, the safer we all are.

The vaccine is 100% effective at preventing hospitalizations and deaths.

So unless you have someone for whom the virus would be fatal, but vaccines are contraindicated, everyone is responsible for their own decision.
