Moreover, vaccinations don't just protect the individual; they also protect the community through herd immunity. This helps safeguard those who can't get vaccinated for medical reasons. So, in situations where personal decisions can significantly impact others' health, perhaps some level of government intervention is justifiable? I'm curious to hear your thoughts on this balance between individual rights and public health.

Hi, good discussion to have. The individual should assess
the suitability of any medical procedure and its effects for their own
situation, part of which is their potential impact on the health of others. Whatever
conclusion the individual decides on should be respected and understood. The Government
can recommend treatments, but they should be held accountable if said treatment
is not as they say ‘safe & effective’. In retrospect the COVID vaccines (unlike
perhaps the smallpox and polio you mention), were not as safe and certainly not
as effective as we were told. Mandating such a treatment negatively impacts
trust in both Government and the medical field.
