Wealthy nations are purchasing vaccines against H5N1 influenza and boosting surveillance, but there are concerns that low-income countries will be left behind.

    Just let people sign liability waivers. You wanna go party during a pandemic and not take the vaccine? Ok, sign this and you’re free to go.

    But if you end up in hospital, you will automatically be behind everyone in line for care if there is triage. If they insist so much on personal responsibility, then give it to them: do you want to have access to modern healthcare or not?

      It still means that much more potential carriers and that much more odds of any inconvenient mutation happening.

      I’d advocate for the Frencg method: in case of a measle epidemic, vaccination is mandated by law and cops can just simply knock at your door and grab your ass ^^

      This would work in the US if insurance companies did it.
