Down below is someone commenting that they had to get a yellow fever vaccine to visit Kenya. Maybe you're not visiting these countries. But frankly, nobody cares. Millions are. And they're being checked for proof of vaccines and h

I have absolutely no clue why you're continuously focusing exclusively on Japan to avoid the fact that vaccine/immunization mandates have global precedents and they've existed forever at this point. Japan might not mandate a

Requiring immunization is a cost-saving measure for countries accepting travelers. The last thing a poor country needs is richer people coming in, getting sick, and ending up hospitalized all while infecting other people. And the system has

With travel at least, countries have the right to deny people for any reason whatsoever. Many already mandate various vaccines for entry (even for diseases not transmissible between humans), require a certain amount of money in your bank ac

One problem is that people are self-treating with it. Eyeballing measurements of medicine bought at a farm supply store and sticking it in your child's mouth isn't good. Furthermore, enabling random unproven treatments is on the s

My worry about the anti-plastic bag push is we're going to rush head first into even less sustainable solutions. With many people not wanting to carry a bag at all times and global demand rising, we're bound to see more Indonesian

Yes, the vaccinated still get covid. But they're not being hospitalized in significant numbers. The issue is hospitalization. Hospitals have indeed been overwhelmed[1] and considerable numbers of people have been dying at home, many in

Football fanatics don't see missing a game as a choice either.

Disagree. There's no reason the state should say one person's personal choice to follow a religion allows them to forever be exempt from Saturday work, but someone who chooses to follow football has no right or guarantee to ever e
