Conscription? WTF are you on about. You are re writing the concept and definition because you cant admit you are wrong .
I outlined what my response would have been before in a point by point scenario. Ill try to dig it out
Correct, just like the choice to turn a health system into a Covid-only service causes a crisis down the line.

Health ministers say nation gripped by health crisis
Liberal and Labor health ministers from the five mainland states are pleading with the Morrison government to ease the strain on a health system choked by post-2020 ill health.www.smh.com.au
Inaction should not be judged the same as action. It's the old trolley dilemma.Isnt no lock downs and massive death tolls and long covid also governments making decisions for all of them/us too ?
Stop this bullshit that you have some monopoly on caring just because you have a different opinion on pandemic management. Your opinion is not morally superior and it's a very dangerous slope if you think it is.No, because that doesn't inconvenience them so they don't care.

You're arguing that because you haven't had to do something previously, that it's therefore not ok. Neglecting that a lot of things have happened to past generations that we've never had to deal with.
Do you understand the fundamental reason they want you to use the QR code check-ins? Why they asked people to wear masks? Why Hotel Quarantine was commenced after home quarantine was the initial response?
The people who develop pandemic plans prior to 2020, which considered and dismissed most of the Covid measures, didn't care any less about people than you do.
When your argument is "Well in 1918 we" it isnt much of a argument to make. Im trying to bring is back to 2018, not 1918. Join me in a this millenium atleast when you are mounting a case
But they don't.
You're arguing you should be free to make whatever personal choice you like. Those choices don't occur in a vacuum though, which means your choices impact upon others. At what point does your freedom impacting upon someone else mean your freedom should be curtailed?
When we apply water restrictions during a drought do you decide that you should be free to use however much water you like because well, you want to?
That is simple, when your choices have a direct impact on others. Like killing someone for instance, or stealing from them. The notion that people have to be vaxxed to protect others is utter nonsense and would not stand up in any court in a free country because you getting vaxxed or not does not have a direct impact on anyone else. If you are arguing for anything else you are arguing for tyranny.
Good try. But no.
Where there's a communal good from the society erading a disease - think polio, smallpox - then your choice not to get vaccinated does impact upon others.
You don't live in a society of one.
In your brain it might but not according to law it doesn't. You have always been allowed to refuse a vaccine and nothing has changed. Your health is your responsibility not anyone else's.
Do Brazillians think their government cares for them and doesnt lie or mislead them about the chlorine makers and malaria pill industry having their best interests at heart ?
Stunned to see you bring up Brazil.Do Brazillians think their government cares for them and doesnt lie or mislead them about the chlorine makers and malaria pill industry having their best interests at heart ?
Also your final statement doesn't always hold up. If i'm sick and go around knowing infecting others, that's a crime. Because you know, their health is also kind of my responsibility.
IMO any medical procedure shouldn't be compulsory although there are mitigating circumstances-
1- Can the government make it law that everyone can be forcibly vaccinated, in other words can people be tied down and jabbed?
2- Can the government make it law that you need to be vaccinated to participate in certain activities, eg. attend sporting events/concerts/go shopping at Coles/domestic travel/sit in a restaurant?
1 I can never see happening, 2 I could which will leave it as an individual decision as to whether you are willing to suffer the consequences of the decision not to vaccinate.
The biggest and most intriguing question for me is how they will police item 2, will you be required to carry some sort of vaccine passport, will scan code entry be a permanent thing in society from now on(what about those that don't have smart phones or phones at all, I know a few). Will we require a chip insert indicating vaccine compliance. Or will it be an honour/trust system?
Another concern for me is where does it lead to, will other medical procedures in the future be deemed defacto compulsory.
Why bring up polio and smallpox when getting either of them gives lifelong immunity to them. Covid seems much more likely to be a seasonal thing like influenza, where a high rate of mutation means you likely won't get much, if any lasting immunity. In the case of influenza, vaccines are largely ineffective, because they are based on guesswork.Good try. But no.

Thanks DocPeople who had the virus doesnt make them immune to it
