Vaccines Should Never Be Mandatory

There’s a huge amount of political pressure to release a COVID-19 vaccine. This will mean limited testing and it’s reasonable to expect that there will be pressure to make vaccination mandatory. While anyone who wants the vaccine should be able to take it, it’s wrong to force an untested product on the unwilling. The question is not whether vaccines are good, but whether everything good should be mandatory. It’s hard to think of a more fundamental freedom than the right to do what you want with your own body. After all, there is a precedent for medical experts getting things wrong. Free the People creative director Sam Martin breaks it all down in the latest episode of Freedom Over Fear.
