Is compulsory vaccination the most effective public health policy in your view?
Compulsory vaccination is scary... yet if it pertains to public health, it should be permitted temporarily. The reason it is scary because, people should have a freedom to choose what they put in their bodies. It should not be up to the government what a person does or not do if they are not harming anyone. In a perfect world, there is no disease or sickness. But since there are disease that can spread and cause serious health issues and death , there needs to be prevention, precautions, and solutions in place. If vaccines can contribute to the health and well-being of the general public, then it should be given. The issues that I have is the safety of vaccines. Will it cause more harm or other side effects then the disease it is trying to prevent? Is vaccines for various diseases necessary, like the annual flu vaccine? Will vaccines be compulsory on everyone or only to those that are susceptible to sickness?
Post a brief paragraph describing why you choose your research topic?
I plan to write about the future about the relationship between humans and technology.. like in cyborgs or the integration of man and machine. Will human become fully machine or will machine become fully human? Interesting to find out how research will uncover.
Compulsory vaccination IS scary. It's a new, weird, and conflicting kind of scary for me. I usually go with the rule of thumb that if they're not hurting anyone, then why should we tell them what to do with their bodies. And, really, I would consider it a violation to force shots onto people. After hearing about herd immunity, I understand there's a good reason behind it, but how do you tell people (many of which are skeptical of anything the government says at this point) that they are putting people at risk if they don't get them. I mean, I've never even gotten this explanation from the doctor. I think I was like most people who assume the only reason for vaccines is so you, yourself, don't get the disease. That's all I've ever been told until now.
