Nickle - Good on you for having the courage to say what you think on here and I hope you would only receive respectful replies so you shouldn't need to hide under a chair

I can see your point about it being a community safety issue and although I am pro-vax for my own family, I still feel that I would be having my rights removed to be forced into it. Also once vaxing becomes compulsory and the legislation as a whole is passed, it is much easier to slip other things in there without anyone really having a say so. Even if the current vaxes were 100% effective (which they are currently not), and there was a guaranteed safety for everyone who had them (which there isn't - but I believe we are in a low risk category but I do acknowledge there are side effects), I would still be fundamentally against it being compulsory.

I don't like anything that takes away our right to choose and makes it easier for the gov't to change the schedule without community input so while I don't have many issues with the vax schedule at the moment, there is nothing to say that it is not going to change in the future and I would like the option to research and opt out if I feel that it's not right. By making things compulsory, we will all lose that ability to choose.

I hope that makes sense
