Precisely. It comes down to does the right of a individual to their beliefs and convictions exceed the rights of the community to health and safety.
The whole Emily Vaccine Brouhaha has informed me on a number of issues. I am pleased to understand that the Hawaii National Guard is not coming to stick a needle in my arm. That vaccines are available to those that want them and to those that might not. That in a National Emergency those declining vaccinations have a option - quarantine - which preserves their right to choose. That the Council Reslution, while distracting, is of no effect.
It is disappointing that some folks rely on rumors and don;t take the time to go to the source. The claim of an October 14th statement by the Governor that mandatory vaccinations were pending via the National Guard was a bogus inflation. Oh well.
Life goes on.
Assume the best and ask questions.
