And yet, people will not get vaccinated until it is required despite the known history of outbreaks before vaccination became widespread.
I'm surprised that you think the only reason people get vaccinated is because they are forced to. What a weird take. I mean, we hear about how wonderful vaccines are, how they prevent disease, suffering and death. Who wouldn't want that? If you read the link I posted in the last post, it goes on to say:
Coercion and brute force are rarely necessary. In fact they are generally counterproductive—they gratuitously breed public distrust and encourage the people who are most in need of care to evade public health authorities.
On the other hand, effective, preventive strategies that rely on voluntary participation do work. Simply put, people do not want to contract smallpox, influenza or other dangerous diseases. They want positive government help in avoiding and treating disease. As long as public officials are working to help people rather than to punish them, people are likely to engage willingly in any and all efforts to keep their families and communities healthy.
