My Mom had shingles and it was extremely painful for her.
I grew up getting vaccinations.
So did most of us.
No vaccination, no going to school.
If you travel to different countries, certain vaccinations against disease are mandatory.
Many diseases have been eradicated and/or controlled thanks to science and preventative vaccines.
I'm far less concerned about "Afghans bringing measles and other diseases" than I am about Xenophobic American Antivaxxers who continue to spread ignorance, misinformation and this awful virus.

Preach on, sister. I'm with you 100% on this. This SHOULD be a no-brainer. No one should NEED to be coerced or manipulated into getting the vaccine. In fact, when the vaccine first came out, people were lining up BEGGING for their shot. The anti-vaxx movement is the only reason why there are still millions of people not vaccinated. They've convinced a lot of people - some who might otherwise be rather intelligent - that vaccines are bad for you. And the Covid-19 vaccines are just the latest bandwagon they're hopping on to push their agenda.
