A speaker argues vaccines should never be mandatory for school, work, or military service, claiming they don't stop transmission. They cite CDC statements on polio and outbreaks among vaccinated people as evidence mandates don't protect communities.
Chapters
There should never be a mandate to take a vaccine for any activity. Vaccination should be purely elective like any other medical or surgical procedure. That means no requirements for school, for employment, for the military. None. Vaccination should only be for personal protection because vaccines don't protect others. If we've learned anything, even on the CDC website, it says the polio vaccine doesn't stop transmission of polio. And we look at outbreaks of measles and mumps, it happens in the vaccinated. So it's obvious they don't fully stop transmission. So in an ideal world, there would be no mandates around vaccine or any other medicine.
