How the Anti-Vaccine Community Is Responding to Covid-19

Unvaccinated people put the immuno-compromised, newborns and the elderly at risk. The state doesn't have the right to force you to vaccinate, but they do have the right to force you into quarantine if you're not.

I've studied U.S. Law for close to 10 years.

First, please define what you mean by "state".

Are we talking Federal Government, or one or more of the 50 U.S. States?

Next, please explain to me why you think that entity has the power to do that...

Also, please explain to me your understanding of "Consent Of The Governed". What does that term mean, where does that originate from, how does that apply to to the U.S. Federal and State (and also local) governments?

Think of this as a test of your understanding of U.S. Law...

No, you can only be forced into quarantine if you have a communicable disease.

And the immuno-compromise put themselves at risk every time they go out without a mask.

Now, are you also going to require older people to top-up their vaccinations? You know they lose efficacy over time, right?
