1/🧵Should people be allowed to refuse preventive care when the consequences can affect people other than themselves? Like refusing to give our babies a vaccine or taking some preventive measures due to our beliefs. If such actions have consequences that could affect other people, should parents and individuals be allowed to make such decisions for themselves and their kids? Or will it be an infringement of rights to force everyone to conform?
2/🧵When it comes to preventive care, our personal choice does not affect it because it is very important that preventive care is not just for you and your household but also for people surrounding you. When it comes to vaccinations, it goes beyond personal protection; it has to do with community. For the World Health Organization to demand a particular vaccine be given is for our own good. If a large number are protected from a particular disease, it will be very hard for the disease to spread. I don’t support the idea of parents rejecting giving toddlers vaccines, knowing fully well that their immune system can’t fight some diseases in most cases due to ignorance and the loss of the baby.
