The Idaho Medical Freedom Act makes it illegal to require anyone to take a vaccine or receive “medical intervention.” Leslie Manookian, the activist behind the law, hopes to make it a “societal norm” for the rest of the country.

    Vaccines and Healthcare in general are not my area of expertise, so, I ask this humbly. Are people vaccinated in any danger if unvaccinated people gets sick with the disease/virus/infection associated?

      Yes.

      But it’s also about herd immunity. And helping to protect people who medically cannot be vaccinated. And improving the overall average health of the population.

      For participation in public services like education, the only valid waiver for a vaccination should be medically-based. Not preferential. Not “moral”. Not religious. Medical. That’s it. Full stop.

      Yes, since vaccines don’t generally give complete immunity. They generally make it less likely to get sick and if you do then it will be milder, often.
