So people have the right to give me a preventable disease because they aren't vaccinated (when they otherwise could be)?

Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

It's jUsT a cHoIcE. mY bOdY mY cHoIcE.
I mean, this is coming from some of the best minds in science and medicine and public health policy.
I got mine! I’m 50. Walgreens asked what medical issue I had. I said I’m fat. (I wear a size 12 ladies). She smiled and kept filling out the paperwork. :)
Thankfully we can get ones here in Colorado, and we don't even have to have some "issue" for it.
I don't look to advisors to be told what my personal choice is going to be. I look to them to be told professional advice about important science things.
It's this new thing called division of labor. I've heard good things about it from other advisors.
Are they not merciful?
I guess this is better than what these assholes really want to do to our health, but, FFS, telling people in which group participation is required for it to be effective that it's a "choice" is a really fucking bad idea.
I'm surprised health insurance industry hasn't chimed in. I would certainly not insure the unvaxxed.
