Do you think it is right to force people into getting shots and dangerous diagnostic tests ?

We will not have a choice in the matter and the FDA has not tested vaccines the way that they should.

No one is forced to get diagnostic tests.

Vaccines are a population preventative health measure. There are rules you abide by for living in a society.

Don't like it. **** off to the third world.

That's unbridled capitalism for you. Hedge funds and large-scale investors demand quick returns on investments, and they will pressure drug manufacturers to rush new products onto the market without thoroughly testing a new drug. There are billions of dollars at stake. The FDA doesn't do the testing itself - it relies on the drug companies themselves to do the studies, and the statistics can, and have been fudged.

To be fair, smallpox has been eradicated, and polio is almost nonexistent in the Western world. Those two are absolutely devastating diseases and it was massive inoculation programs that eliminated them. Sometimes mandating inoculation can do a lot of good. If you're talking about the HPV vaccine, why would anyone object to having their daughters inoculated against a virus that causes almost all the cervical cancers, thus saving lives and a great deal of money down the road?

Vaccinations are one of the reasons that life expectancy has increased 50% over the last 100 years.

Yes, the very very tiny risk of vaccines is far overweighed by the health benefits to the whole community due to vaccinations.
