    With antivaxx though - I think that’s a “your rights end where mine begin” kind of issue. Some moron shitting themselves to death because they think milk tastes better without the poop germs boiled out can take themselves out, but I have a sibling who can’t get certain vaccines/some vaccines are less effective. I think he has the right to not be exposed to easily preventable diseases.

      You could cover this pretty accurately by making being in public without vaccinations count as reckless endangerment. In theory, an antivaxx person in isolation is not the issue. The issue is them exposing other people.

        Exactomundo. Philosophically fine, if you can find a way to make your choice not impact others.

        Another big problem is they don’t tend to vaccinate their kids either. IMHO, kids deserve a higher standard of care/protection than “whatever their birth giver thinks is appropriate.” (Medical neglect fucking sucks - try pulling off your braces with pliers lol)

          Good point! The amount of crackpot “here’s how we can fix society” ideas I’ve come up with that are completely ruined by the existence of children is honestly crazy. I know “protect the kids!!” has been co-opted for some rather unsavory agendas, but it really is important, moreso even than we often consider.

          you could probably reduce the vaccination of kids problem (a small amount anyway) by applying bodily autonomy to a child’s right to get some medical treatments (without parents knowledge /consent).

            Difficult without finances. This would probably also require some sort of universal insurance program, or ways of children using insurance without their parents authorization.

            Parents can also just move you out to the middle of bumfuck nowhere - good luck finding a bus!

      At that point the disease is not composed of your own body and DNA and shedding it would be made illegal to do in public.
