I'm sorry, I don't have an "unequivocal" answer.

I would oppose mandatory vaccination of all citizens.

I don't oppose mandatory vaccination of people in certain occupations.

Is your argument purely a "slippery slope" one? I generally have little patience for those.

I don't think you know what "fascist" means but that's a semantic point. I get you think it's "bad".

Having vaccinated persons in close contact with vaccinated elderly increases the latter's risk.

Life is risk.
You don't have any right to risk someone else's life.

It would hardly be "mandatory" if they didn't.

@no1marauder - quoted:
"' By the early 18th century, Massachusetts added a law permitting local authorities to isolate ill people in separate houses.'"

This is what I mean when I say that there are alternatives to actually injecting someone with an unsafe chemical.

And tell me, this law in your quote above surely was found unconstitutional, was it not? B ...[text shortened]... e talk about isolation
and there sure was talk as to why that was *unconstitutional*. Imagine that.
Well the alternative in this case I much less draconian, they simply get another job in which they are not in close contact with vulnerable old people.
It’s not a mandatory vaccination it’s a condition of employment vaccination.

Oh, ethics. OK.

I don't consider it very "ethical" to put vulnerable people at additional risk. Someone who does might be considered to lack the ethical compass needed to perform such a job.

Yes they are CARE workers and if they don’t CARE enough about the people they are charged with CARING for to protect against a virus that kills them then perhaps they are better suited to a non CARING profession.
Just stop mislabelling it as mandatory vaccination in the UK when it’s actually a condition of service / employment requirement. No one is being forced to have a vaccination, my only proviso would be that they get their vaccine of choice.
