I think the voluntarily (EDIT: polio) unvaccinated are misled or idiots, but this is a bad comparison. Non-consensual sex is violence. Full stop. We can start arguing that giving people an infectious disease is like violence, or this or that, mais ceci n'est pas une pipe.
What it is analogous to is getting "stranded after driving around barricades to enter a flooded stretch of roadway" [1].
Kind of? But in this case somehow the driver is driving a bus, or their car is pulling other cars in due to gravity, or something? A motorist who ends up on a flooded motorway endangers themselves and some first responders - which yes, is dumb, but after that initial ripple it doesn't continue to propagate the problem to other people. You can't spread car stranding.
Broadly speaking, yes. The narrow point here is on how to deal with choices that hurt others.
On the prescriptive side, we could foreclose that choice. That's mandatory vaccination. On the reactive side, we can assign liability. That's the point of my analogy.
until u could prove that majority of infections are caused by the unvaxxed, both of your prescriptions are tyrannical.
We're discussing polio. Not Covid.
That’s the point. We have sterilising polio vaccines.
What's more interesting is the efforts the conservatives in the US have done to deny people their rights in this regard. And I'm not even talking about abortion. Conservatives have worked extra hard to deny Americans their rights when it comes to vaccinations and their private lives.
It's a real shame.
Is unborn baby innocent?

Example?
