Forced vaccinations and the need for a new Prohibition

Vaccines aren't all bad and parents who don't vaccinate their kids do increase the risk of other kids getting various diseases.

That's the motivation behind laws, like that in California, which are forcing parents to vaccinate their kids irrespective of the parents personal beliefs about what's best for their kids. Unvaccinated kids are denied access today dare and schools.

Here's the problem; everyone who drinks runs the chance of over indulging and driving drunk which in turn could cause serious health damage to other people.  Yet the Democrats who run California don't want to ban alcohol, or weed for that matter.

Even drivers who aren't driving drunk do have slower reaction time and impaired decision making than someone who hasn't had anything to drink. Sure the chances of that being an issue are small and we as a society accept the risk.

But the same reasoning applies to some children not getting some vaccinations; that doesn't result in certain damage to other children.

So if one behavior increases the risk to other people and another behavior increases the risk to other people how can the law treat the two differently?

It's time for we the people to say that the government doesn't have the power to force us to do whatever they think we should do.
