Should people who refuse to be vaccinated against Covid 19 be forced to ?

@PepsiColaP Mandatory masks, distancing et al. w/ fines in every public place (including the beach in summer with 35°C+ in the shade) unless you have a proof of vaccination. The inconvenience alone would make a sufficient number of people (>70%) take the shot. At the same time it would also limit the damage they could make.

@Elessar I don't agree with enforcing people into medical procedures,regardless of how minor they are , directly or not .

@PepsiColaP In fact that's not enforcement. One can still decide not to take it, and stick with masks and distancing until the pandemic will be declared resolved.

@Elessar it is however. Public spaces shouldn't be regulated by the government . What individual businesses do is a different story

@PepsiColaP They are, however; it is exactly the responsibility of the government to regulate public places/stuff, and it's the reason why masking and social distancing are *already* mandatory. Lifting the mandate for those who can exhibit PoV, to be released only after the biological time required to build up immunity, is how you ethically convince (most) people to get immunized, while leaving the most stubborn in the exact same situation they're now (if they think a vaxx is worse than this, it's ultimately their choice).

The alternatives would be worse:

1. Everyone, even vaxxed people, keep wearing masks and social distancing: not only it makes no point from a scientific point of view, but it also prevents many businesses from operating at full capacity, extending the economic damage unnecessarily.

2. Containment measures are lifted up for everyone: This would also be unethical, would inevitably lead to further shutdowns, and would put at an unnecessary and otherwise avoidable anyone who, for a reason or another, couldn't get immunized through vaccination (immunodeficient people, pregnant women, children younger than 16, categories that are still awaiting to be called, etc.)
