I was handed this lovely flyer while grocery shopping

I thought the woman handing me this was going to ask for help reaching something, but she was handing this out to everyone.

You shouldn't force your diseases on people.

I just want the right to say no to a medical procedure

I just want to visit a major theme park without getting measles. Or get an education without getting a once-defeated debilitating disease.

Me too but I don't think it is ethical or right to force treatment on those who don't want to be treated.

Just remind your relatives to get vaccinated. You technically could even tell them that you want them to get vaccinated become coming to a family get together but you will not have any way to prove it as they aren't going to share there medical records.

Who has forced you to get vaccinated?

Choose willingly to get vaccinated. However, I don't like when people have to prove there vaccination status. I also don't think it is right to tell people that there beliefs are wrong. At the end of the day a doctor should never go against a persons wishes.

Maybe its a bad take. I just think it is a slippery slope forcing the issue.

I don’t like when people have to prove there vaccination status.

Has that ever happened to you or anyone you know? When and why?

I also don’t think it is right to tell people that there beliefs are wrong.

Got it. Don't let Nazis know their "kill all the black people and Jews" beliefs are wrong.

And I bet you just want the right to decide which traffic laws to follow. Or which taxes to pay.

Go live on an isolated island if you don't want to integrate with society.

I do get to choose what laws to obey. In the case of traffic laws you have to get busted by the police.

Also traffic laws are a little different than metrical tech. I want to be able to opt out if I feel something is not for me. Same thing with goverment technology that tracks are collects my data.

Nah, you don't.

If you murder someone, you can't go around claiming you don't participate the law preventing murder.

And let that be exactly what the anti-vaxxers are doing when spreading a deadly disease.

Then the government has the right to say no to you participating in their society.
