    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?

    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.

        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 from you participating in society.
