There was a National Public Radio (NPR) program on people’s reactions to the US Government’s vaccine mandates. While the vast majority of people are fine with it (>90% compliance for federal workers), some were vociferously complaining about COVID-19 vaccine mandates.

Never mind that we’ve been mandating vaccines for 100s of years, from smallpox to school vaccinations. The common complaint of those who oppose this goes something like this: “It’s my body, I have the right to control it, the government has no business mandating it”, etc., etc.

Wonder how these same people feel about a women’s right to choose with respect to her body? Seems like there are more and more government mandates regulating women’s reproductive rights, yet I doubt these same anti-vaxxers have issues with that. Hypocrisy to the max!
