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.
