People don’t want the government to say what they can and can’t do to their own bodies. I can see why people want to draw that particular line in the sand. Despite my personal desire that everyone do the moral, patriotic and practical thing and get vaccinated, I also don’t really want big brother super involved into individuals medical decision making. People should have autonomy over their own body, not the state. It doesn’t seem too unreasonable to think that reducing funding or even eliminating specific state managed health programs might be a great way to curtail such government encroachment and incentivize the massive health care system already in place to do its job so the big brother doesn’t have to step in and break everyone’s freedom.
