Google Offices to Mandate Vaccines

I did not say any job, I said "a" job. Yes vaccinations will protect other people. Banning alcohol would protect many people, but its a violation of a person's rights to ban it.

Okay, and? Yes, we don't have rules for every single possibly protective thing, but we do have rules for a lot of them.

Your line of reasoning could also be used against seat belt laws or building codes: why have those for public safety if we don't ban alcohol?

edit: also, while I don't support banning alcohol, it wouldn't be a violation of a person's basic rights to ban it. That used to be the law of the land in the US, and even today there are still some dry counties (alcohol cannot be sold).

It's literally not. Have you heard of the Prohibition?

Yes, and it was repealed by the 21st amendment. This was done because it is a violation of peoples' rights.

That’s not why but which rights do you think it violated exactly? There still exist dry counties in the US.
