Subject: A forced vaccination with a government in power
Hi professor Block, i’m sorry if i’m bothering you with these questions but i would like to know your opinion on forced vaccinations.
In a world without a state/government, people should have the right to know what is being injected into their bodies from the pharmaceutical company before taking the vaccine. People should be vaccinated because if they carry a deadly disease and they infect other people and they die, that makes them a murderer.
The problem i have with a forced vaccination (having a government in power) is that they want to rush it to people without having to face any consequences if it cripples people. The government passed a law years ago that grants immunity to pharmaceutical companies if they get sued.

So i want to ask, will you reject the governments forced/mandatory vaccine next year when they start rolling it out?.
Thank you for your time, and best regards.
Dear Federico:
I will indeed reject the governments forced/mandatory vaccine next year given these circumstances.
I’ve written a bit about this:
