The AstraZeneca mess and the hypothesis of compulsory vaccination

Why is the hypothesis of making the Covid-19 vaccine mandatory not seriously considered? The emphasis of Michael the Great

In principle, how to divide personal income between consumption and savings is a decision that is the responsibility of each individual.

Since, however, experience shows that this is defective, the state forces citizens to take precautions against the needs and risks that arise in the course of their existence, also to prevent their cost – economic, social, human – falls on the community.

The case of pensions is the most striking, but it is not the only one: the state makes it mandatory, for example, also insurance against accidents at work and that for car accidents.

The same logic should apply to vaccinations.

Moreover, in Italy those against smallpox (1888), diphtheria (1939), polio (1968) and, subsequently, against exanthematous diseases were imposed by law.

Now, with a vaccination campaign that, despite the mess of the government (of the CTS redesigned by Mario Draghi and of the Minister of Health) on AstraZeneca, is taking off (thanks to the tortured General Figliuolo) this is not the time to embark on a discussion of more or less persuasive methods of achieving herd immunity.

However, especially if the increase in the number of no-vaxes were to prevent it, the hypothesis of making the vaccine against Covid-19 mandatory should perhaps be seriously considered.
