Forcing Compliance is Wrong

The vaccine may or may not be a good idea, but forcing it on people violates their dignity as human beings.

I know it’s easy to villainize those who have not received their vaccines yet which makes it even easier to disregard the infringement of their rights by vaccine passports and mandates. You might be thinking that they deserve it because they’re putting everyone at risk. And I’ve read quite a few articles in the media about who these people are and why they are hesitant and the explanations demonstrate that whoever is writing these articles has done very little research into the real reasons why people are hesitant. It usually gets chalked up to the conclusion that they are anti-vaxxers across the board or that they have bought into crazy conspiracy theories. The truth is, I know a lot of people who have not been vaccinated and while some may be stretching their logic a bit, most don’t fit those characterizations. So what are the real reasons why they hesitate? Will mandatory or coercive campaigns be effective in increasing vaccinations and even if they are effective, do the ends justify the means?

Comments are subject to deletion if they are not germane. I have no problem with a bit of colourful language, but blasphemy or depraved profanity will not be allowed. Attacks on the Catholic Faith will not be tolerated. Comments will be deleted that are republican (Yanks! Note the lower case 'r'!), attacks on the legitimacy of Pope Francis as the Vicar of Christ (I know he's a material heretic and a Protector of Perverts, and I definitely want him gone yesterday! However, he is Pope, and I pray for him every day.), the legitimacy of the House of Windsor or of the claims of the Elder Line of the House of France, or attacks on the legitimacy of any of the currently ruling Houses of Europe.
