NameName Posted August 12, 2014 Share Posted August 12, 2014 A chain is only as strong as it's weakest link (Excuse the cliché), and the same goes for immunity of certain diseases like Whooping Cough. Without people being forced to take vaccines, you will have the people who believe vaccines are bad, they won't take them and will compromise the safety of everyone else. What could be done in a free society to potentially solve this dilemma? Thanks! My apologies, I just realised this has been asked before: https://board.freedomainradio.com/topic/40336-herd-immunity/ I would delete this thread but I don't know how.

nickhk Posted August 12, 2014 Share Posted August 12, 2014 Incentives. Can you imagine health insurance providers giving reasonable rates for people who go without vaccinations? Maybe you get them free when you buy health insurance. Who needs force when practically everyone will look at anti-vax folks sideways. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MMX2010 Posted August 12, 2014 Share Posted August 12, 2014 Incentives and making public knowledge the identities of people who haven't vaccinated so that individuals can decide whether to hang out with them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hannahbanana Posted August 12, 2014 Share Posted August 12, 2014 Making information accessible about the real dangers of vaccination, as opposed to the fake ones, the benefits of herd immunity, etc. Also, it could be a contractual sort of thing...like it's okay to not vaccinate, but other people may not want their children to be around unvaccinated children, and it sounds like they shouldn't be forced to be around unvaccinated children either.
