Yes, but only for deadly contagious diseases

I think it should be the parents call and if they do research and decide the vaccine has not shown to be useful, the child should not be forced to be vaccinated.

Diseases like the black plague back in the day, I would understand, but they made it through the years without a vaccine and did just fine.

If they are currently prevalent in our country, they should be highly encouraged, and families and doctors should educate them. However, the choice should remain with the parents.

Now days, we have no idea what is put into these vaccines, whether they say it’s for diseases or not, so we have every right now to trust this to be put into our bodies. Everyone’s bodies are different and react differently to vaccines, and you never know when someone’s body won’t be able to take the vaccine, which is extremely dangerous.

People should be able to choose whether they get vaccinated for diseases due to being allergic to ingredients, or deciding not to take the risk when it comes to potential side effects of vaccines that could be life changing. one thing to note, not all religions are allowed to take vaccines.

Still forcing someone to get vaccinated is still taking away their rights of and freedom over their own medical care.

At the end of the day, it is a persons natural born right to take a vaccination, no government should be able to control that.

I still think that making any person put something in their body that they don't want to is not right.

I think that the deadly and contagious diseases could be a valid reason, but I still believe that we should be able to choose what we want to put in our bodies, no matter what the disease is.

COVID wasn't the black plague people weren't dying in the streets the flu was killing more people at the time as well as other illnesses it wasn't life or death to get a shot or not the way everybody acts like it was but they made it seem that way and its weird that it was pushed so hard for a less than flu

I agree with this,If anyone has a obvious disease and it contagious,than yes immediately take that vaccination.

If the disease is spreading rapidly and killing many people, it may be in the best interest for the community to force.

Some people may just not want a vaccine, even if it means they have the risk of getting the disease.

First, defining what counts as “deadly” or “contagious enough” is not always clear. Diseases exist on a spectrum, and risk can change over time with new variants, medical treatments, or population immunity. For example, a disease that is mild for most people could still be dangerous for older adults or immunocompromised individuals. This makes it hard to set fair and consistent rules without frequent policy changes or debate over where to draw the line.
Second, even when a disease is serious, mandatory vaccination can still create trust and compliance issues. Research…  Read more from public health studies shows that when people feel forced into medical decisions, vaccine hesitancy can increase rather than decrease, which may actually reduce overall uptake in some communities. This weakens the goal of protecting public health, even if the intent is good.
Third, critics argue that if the goal is reducing harm, there are often less restrictive alternatives that can still be effective—such as education campaigns, improving access, targeted vaccination for high-risk groups, or encouraging voluntary uptake through incentives and community outreach. These approaches may protect public health while respecting individual autonomy more than mandates do.
So the counterargument is that even a “limited” mandate can still be hard to define fairly, may reduce trust, and might not be necessary if other strategies can achieve high vaccination rates without legal requirements.

I would be interested in learning more about where that line is drawn. I would be open to that discussion in regards to allowing the child to attend public school.

After everything we know about pharmaceutical companies and their history of choosing profit over the public's safety, why would I trust their judgment in determining what's deadly?

I still land on the fact that people don't understand what they are putting into their body, so they should have a choice

I would get the vaccines for deadly contagious diseases, by choice, but I still feel we shouldn't be forced to get them.

Depending on what deadly contagious diseases since there's some that are just that you get sick and the next day you can get better or there's ones that can kill you.

Vaccines do not prevent diseases from spreading, so therefore it should be up to the citizen to decide if they want a vaccine or not.

Any new disease is going to be deadly. I stand with my pervious statement that some people aren't willing to deal with the results of the vaccine and that should be fine.

Everyone has a different immune system; some can get through sickness, illness, and disease Yet others can't. When something is so dangerous and contagious, then yes, but as a LAST RESORT.

Even for deadly diseases it should be the choice of the individual if they want to risk death for not taking a vaccine.

The "choice" shouldn't be available for things that can destroy our communities, our economy and peoples lives.

Yes, if it's truly deadly than maybe we need something but, you can't force people to do things that goes against everything this country stands for.

No, even for deadly diseases people still have the right to say no. It is up to that individual to decide what goes into their body.

If someone chooses not to vaccinate that is to their own discretion and they could face the consequences on their own time

I believe that our bodies are made to fight off contagious diseases and have done so for centuries, it should not be a role of the government to enforce mandatory vaccinations on people when there are much more choices available to cure those in large waves.

Let those afraid of the diseases choose to get the vaccine and be protected and let those who choose not to risk death; It really is that simple. I don't think the Government needs to force people to receive vaccinations.

Just because you wont die doesn't mean you won't experience worse. Paralysis, other disabilities are like torture to someone who is in full health.

If people believe that the vaccine isn't for them they have a right to decide that for themselves as do people have a decision to take it.

I think a lot of deadly contagious diseases have been eradicated. And yes thanks to modern medicine (granted TESTED AND PROVEN) has helped get us past. If you’ve contracted this and don’t want it to spread then that’s your choice to get it or not. Making it mandatory is not for the interest of the people

Mandating vaccines for only deadly contagious diseases argues that in moments of crises and danger, we allow the government to strip us of our civil liberties for the greater good (herd immunity). Vaccines that require people to lose their civil liberties and bodily autonomy in order to be effective should be considered bad medicine and should not be encouraged or mandated.

Vaccines also come with risks and for some children, the odds that they will experience harm from the vaccine may be higher than the odds that they will ever even have to opportunity to contract the disease.

Well if everybody else has the vaccine but a few parents decide to not vaccinate their child and the child gets sick, then all the other kids are safe because they have the vaccine.

You still don't need to get vaccinated, but be cautious in what you are doing if it is very contagious.

Who gets to decide which diseases are truly considered deadly. Some diseases affect certain people more than others.

Even for deadly contagious diseases, mandatory vaccination undermines bodily autonomy and informed consent, ignores individual risk differences, and carries non-zero medical risks. Coercion can damage public trust and backfire, while targeted, voluntary measures can protect public health without universal mandates.

Even if a disease is deadly and contagious, mandatory vaccines can still infringe on personal freedom and bodily autonomy. Governments deciding which diseases justify mandates can lead to expanding control over private medical decisions.

Just because something is deadly and scary to you does not mean that a vaccine is not scarey and genuinely deadly. Nearly all of the people who cannot take vaccines are disabled. It is inherently discrimination against a protected class to force vaccines on absolutely everyone including people who are too young to prove that they have a disability let alone are they even old enough to even COMMUNICATE about what symptoms they are feeling in order to receive a diagnosis prior to the vaccines they receive soon after birth and around their first birthday. People with a family history of disea…  Read moreses that make them unable to receive vaccines are not even allowed to let their child be alive long enough to determine if he or she is also the carrier. Disabled people already face intense discrimination. WE ARE ALREADY FORCED TO RECEIVE VACCINATIONS. This is not an if, but when. The fields I work in and my experience with many families has only corroborated this - not disproved this. The methylation genes that also cause the collagen disease that impacts as little as 1 in 10 people and as many as 1 in 5 people is a dominate group of 60 genes (30 co-dominate genes) which is why there will also only be an increase in this issue which is something many people have already expressed observations of. These are my correlations with doctors to back it up.

What other vaccinations are there? I've been alive long enough to have known kids who had polio. I watched it become eradicated due to mandatory vaccinations in schools. I mean, mumps, chicken pox, measles, COVID, flu, could all be deadly if severe enough.

Based on COVID we know that they can say that a cold is deadly contagious when it isn't, they can lie in the media about mass death. So the can lie about a disease just to get people to take vaccines.

Any disease could be deadly or have a serious effect on someone's health as the human bodies reaction to a harmful disease is unique to everyone.

If there is a situation going around and the only way to stop it is to start vaccinations to protect and put a end to it without it spreading than yes and if it’s not away to cure the effective ones and the only choice is to vaccinate the non effective people to continue to stop a spread than yes

The chance of getting, for example, polio, is very slim so there should be no reason to get the polio vaccination. If it were to explode again and become viral, then getting the vaccine could help many people.

It is a violation of fundamental human freedoms.
It is impossible to give informed consent if the procedure is mandatory.

People should not have to be forced into a vaccine that they do not want. No one truly knows if they even work fully or would help if a person fell sick.

Non profit solely for the safety of our children and with safer ingredients, Individual work ups prior to administration in addition to allergy testing to ensure each child is safely able to take the vaccines administered. Along with spaced out administration and follow up protocol for side effects.

i would agree with this to an extent actually. your decisions are only yours if they don’t harm anyone else. however, i don’t believe vaccines that have been proven to do more harm than good and are brand new, like the covid vaccine should be mandatory. everyone i know that got it now has issues, my dad is sick all the time, my boss has infertility issues(her other children she conceived with no issues prior to the vaccine, and a friend of a friend actually died from a heart defect determined to be from the vaccine.

at the end of the day if someone chooses not to get a vaccine and get deathly ill that's their own fault.

Children should be vaccinated but, should not be forced to vaccinate their children because it is their choice.

It is better to die on my feet than to live on my knees, I will not allow this based on principle alone. People can get the vaccines if they want and I encourage them to do so but making it mandatory is antithetical to American ideals.

Prove to me 100% that the vaccine will work or will not cause injury or death. 100%. The COVID fiasco was a great example of the inept medical establishment and their attempt to stop death. Stop playing God.

The choice should still be left up to the parents or the individual themselves, since the vaccines are correlated with rising auto-immune disorders.

No, because they would use covid as a deadly contagious disease and try to force a vaccine on somebody.

If there are deadly, contagious diseases, then if Antibodies are an option, those are often safer for immunity than a rushed vaccine, as some vaccines, like the COVID-19 vaccine, were rushed out of fear.

What makes a "deadly contagious disease". If it is truly that deadly, then perhaps people would take the time to get vaccinated, but recent history shows Americans getting vaccinate for the Flu- which most people fight off in two weeks.

Only vaccines that should be recommended are ones deadly contagious. Diseases that are fairly easily treated shouldn’t be required.

you cannot mandate a medical procedure for someone else, only yourself. uou do mot have the right to some else’s body. and you cannot designate a right you don’t have to a state entity.

You must take this vaccination to prevent any further risks like death and even spreading such thing to other people where they can be at risk of losing their life too so it is important to be healthy and take this vaccine to help your body fight the infection.

Even for deadly contagious diseases, mandatory vaccines can ignore individual health risks. Some people have conditions that make vaccines unsafe, so strict mandates could harm them. Policies should allow medical exemptions instead of forcing vaccination on everyone.

The same argument applies. A person's body is still their body, no one should have control over a person's body unless there is obvious consent.

There should only be vaccines forced that are safe and are true vaccines that you only have to take one time for diseases that can cause world wide illnesses that can severely hurt and kill millions of people not minor flu like symptoms.

It’s better to be in the sun or drink water I have not had vaccines in years and me doing that has helped greatly

If clear evidence and proof come out that citizens must take a vaccine to save humanity, I would agree, but other than that, it should be the citizens' choice.

Government forcing you to inject something into your body is just the first step into them taking control of you.

u can’t force anyone to do something that requires acces to their health unless its like a crazy space disease or sm

"Deadly contagious disease", like coronavirus, which came from a lab "leak" could easily be intentionally spread in order to medically handicap the public, as the government injects people with a laced vaccine.

COVID 19 was considered a dangerous/deadly disease.I was never vaccinated and it never cause me any problems.

Again, if a State decides that mandatory vaccines within its borders should be acceptable law, but to impose mandatory vaccinations on the whole population of America undermines the different demographics, religious groups, and health patterns of different States within the USA.

If a mandate standard is unclear, it becomes easy for authorities to broaden its definition—and harder for individuals to challenge it.

Many diseases that are not typically fatal can cause severe complications, permanent disability, or chronic illness. Examples include diseases like measles, which can lead to deafness or encephalitis, and influenza, which can cause serious complications in high-risk groups.

We should not be forced to vaccinate if we choose not to. If someone chooses to vaccinate themselves then they are “protected”. Those who choose not to do so are making the choice to deal with the consequences. If a vaccine (which is usually does not) fully protects someone then they should not be worried about those who choose not to get it. If a vaccine does not protect those who get it then the vaccine is no good.

This is a violation of our first amendment and if they don't want to take the vaccine its their choice.

Individuals should have the right to die verses face vaccine injury and carry a disability the rest of their life. I would support more study on genetics to equip people to better understand risk and make better-informed decisions.

Again, if we are going to stand by the right to choose for different things such as abortions, then that should also be valid for vaccines, with no exceptions. You cannot say one has the right to choose but only sometimes.

The vaccination could give the recipient the deadly contagious disease, and then it could spread to people they were in contact with.

Vaccinations should not be given unless needed, such as for people who are at higher risk of these diseases.

This argument is valid, but there are other situations where many people are clustered together where vaccines would be useful for any disease.

It's their choice, we have certain liberties for a reason, and they choose to excersise their liberty to not get vaccinated that is up to them

Who designates what a deadly contagious disease is? CoVid was seen as such but was nowhere near. Slippery slope.

There is also evidence that the people who did get these vaccines did NOT get protected from it. Later getting covid, some getting through, some barely making it, and there are also some whose bodies could not fight the virus and passed. So for those reasons, I say that these vaccinations are just a way to get people to think they are protected and should not need to be mandatory at all for kids and adults.
