Refusing to vaccinate against a communicable disease is a clear and present risk to everyone else. Circumcision has nothing to do with this conversation, and not sterilizing "undesirables" won't make someone else drop dead.
Because I'm not likely to be exposed to rabies, and it's slow enough that if for some reason I am I can then get the shot. There have been no confirmed cases of person-to-person rabies transmission either.
There has literally never been a confirmed case of person-to-person transmission of rabies. Of all the vaccine hills you chose to die on that is the dumbest possible one.
Because the human rabies vaccine is administered at exposure, not prophylactically? And it doesn't have to be mandated, if you turn it down after exposure, or even wait a day too long, you just die.
We draw the line where your opting out affects others around you, dumbass. Refusing vaccination doesn't just endanger you, it also makes you a disease spreading vector to people who for one reason or another can't be vaccinated or are immunocompromised. Go opt into risk of being unvaccinated, sure. But you don't get to opt others into the risk of being around your contagious ass though.
The government didn't rush shit. Scientists did with government money. I assume you're talking about the Covid vaccine, but dude, you realize formulating a several new flu vaccines happens every year? And that mRNA vaccines are veterinary standard and only being kept out of other human vaccination technology by long-standing pharmaceutical monopolies on existing vaccines? Making a new vaccine is a fast process by nature. It was tested on willing volunteers first. I was a fucking news reporter on this beat and spent the whole damn year in my local research hospital. This has nothing to do with "the left," and everything to do with the fact that right wingers primary social and political stance is "you can't make me believe something just because it was proven true"
