Harry, you have gone over the cliff.



Some prominent libertarians are vociferous anti-vaxxers and of those,
some claim stupidly that the vaccines cause autism.

There are also some vociferous liberal democrats who are very
anti-vax. That doesn't mean everyone is. The Libertarians I have heard
were not against vaccinations, only government mandated vaccination.
The position is not much different than the stance on abortion. It is
none of the government's business.

I 100% approve of the regs local governments impose banning
non-vaccinated kids from public schools.

.... even if the kids are allergic to the vaccinations?

Perhaps they are actually better off if they don't go to public
schools tho.
Even home schooled kids have better outcomes than the public schools
in democrat controlled school systems and private schools kick their
ass.

Actually Greg, it is.

Most are governed by state immunization laws but the Surgeon General
can require them under certain circumstances:

Under PHSA Section 361, the US Surgeon General, with approval from the
HHS secretary, is “authorized to make and enforce such regulations as in
his judgment are necessary to prevent the introduction, transmission, or
spread of communicable diseases from foreign countries into the States
or possessions, or from one State or possession into any other State or
possession.�

However, PHSA Section 361 forbids any regulation that supersedes state law.

There are exceptions to both state and federal requirements. Depends on
the circumstances.

To start with I am not anti vax.

I would still point out, simply passing a law does not make it right.
Jim Crow was the law of the land for almost a century.
Plenty of things considered normal sex acts could get you jail time up
until very recently and I don't even mean gay sex.
Between the Wilson administration and the Nixon administration,
protesting the draft was considered a "clear and present danger to the
US" as affirmed by the SCOTUS in SCHENCK v. U.S. , 249 U.S. 47 (1919).
I bet Harry thinks that was wrong.

Plenty of laws are wrong.

I was simply pointing out that by law both state and federal
governments *have* the authority to mandate inoculations.

The fact that you don't agree with the law is another matter.

I understand the incentive and I am basically not opposed but I would

What other medical procedure and drugs can they compel you to take
without due process?
It would certainly be easy to make the societal argument for
sterilization, anti alcohol drugs, maybe have the government giving
people drugs they think would help calm down the dissent.

It's why we have a representative form of government. It's frustrating
sometimes, slow moving and time consuming but any law that is passed
and signed into law must first be voted upon by the elected politicians
who are supposed to be representing the people.

Only exceptions are policies or rules put into affect by
executive order and even then the other "equal" arm of
the state or federal government becomes involved in the
courts.

As I said, Jim Crow, bans on anti draft speech and bans on sex acts
between married couples was voted on and passed by our representatives
state and federal too so just because it is a law, doesn't mean it is
right.
