You asked for prior examples of vaccine mandates….you were given one.
‘Methinks the lady doth protest too much’….
I was really hoping for an example that was a bit more relevant to current events. Something that mandates personal choice, NOT parental choice! I am not protesting your example. I was just hoping for something better than the obvious. I mean, we have been plagued with a few of these viruses for the last 70 years. Where were the mandates then??
You are correct that preschools and childcare facilities have healthcare mandates regarding entry. But many preschools and childcare facilities simply ignore, or don't give a shit about those mandates. Maybe these are the lateral thinkers who believe that the best interest of the child, is NOT whether he/she is vaccinated or not! Maybe these are the thinkers who understand, that if you are already vaccinated(as over 95% of preschoolers are), then why would you care about the health condition of the other 3-5%?? Maybe these are the lateral thinkers who also realize that these childhood diseases have very low mortality rates, and can easily be treated. So why would you deprive the children of a critical social development period in their lives? Just because of a decision made by their parents? So can you think of another more germane example, that involves mandates concerning PERSONAL HEALTH CHOICES!!

Four of Queensland's largest childcare providers are still accepting unvaccinated children, despite a new law allowing centres to exclude them.

No, it was a sarcastic attempt to point out that there are many, many examples of us not being able to do as we please whenever we like. We have rules we must follow. It’s called being part of a community…
So we have rules to prevent us from doing what we want. And, to prevent us from doing what we want, we have rules. And, the reason why we can't do what we want, is because we have rules. And, the reason we have rules, is to prevent us from doing what we want. And so on and so on. Whether you are part of the community or not, this is still circular reasoning(begging the question). Are you saying that we should all give up the power of dissent? And, become a part of a community incapable of having a dissenting opinion? A community that simply does what it is told, and follow rules, JUST TO BE PART OF THE COMMUNITY? Sorry, I am very much a part of my community. But, I draw the line when I am told to stick anything into my body, just because the rest of the community is doing it. Only an idiot would do this without having an informed reason. Maybe we should all continue to pickle our liver, because the rest of the community does!! Again, if you are vaccinated, exactly how can unvaccinated people affect you?
All too often, we hear the selfish whining about “My rights, my rights…!” Never do we hear them admit to “My responsibilities…”
It is people like these who affect social change. NOT people like you. It is these whining complaining people, who ended slavery and segregation. It is these socially conscious people who forced equality in education, employment, housing, and the criminal justice system. It is people like these, that addressed racial and sexual harassment in the workplace. It is people like these, who gave women, Black Americans(and other minorities), the right to vote. It is people like these, who gave everyone the right of due process, and every other legal right that we have today. Maybe you should look a bit further than your false characterization of these true social heroes. Otherwise, it is YOU who is being selfish and irresponsible. It is not everyone's responsibility to stand up, and speak out against any injustices and wrongdoings??
Or do you recommend that all people simply do whatever they are told, for the sake of community??
Sit. Stay. Good Boy.
