You’re equating someone who refuses to be vaccinated and becomes a vector for a fatal illness with penalizing people who are “different?” Last time I checked, simply being a member of a political party, religion, sexual orientation, etc. doesn’t kill someone unless acted upon by an outside force. Fatal diseases most certainly kill without outside help.
The point is that everyone in the military signed up to do all kinds of stuff that civilians would find highly objectionable. We deal with it because we signed up for it. Anyone who has a problem with it after the fact deserves the kind of punishment they will receive.
Since you’re asking ignorant questions that fall outside the realm of reality pertaining to past, present, or future, I’m just gonna let you flail around with that.
I think most have made clear they don’t care what another does with his/her body.
It’s the endangerment of others who cannot receive vaccines that they DO care about.
I’m sure many of us would have trouble with a person who knew they could be HIV or Hepatitis B/C Positive donating blood.
Yet not getting vaccines and endangering those who cannot receive them due to early age or health reasons isn’t a problem?
If, say, a child receiving immuno suppression therapy to tolerate a kidney transplant got measles because another parent chose not to immunize her child, and that child died, would that bother anyone who sees rejection of vaccines as the “freedom to choose”?
I doubt anyone here cares if another drinks a Slurpee, or gets a piercing or tatt, or smokes a J. But it’s more problematic if that J smoker takes the wheel, or unvaccinated make others sick.
