Recommended is usually good enough if the vast majority of people get the vaccines. You don’t need to create and manage a legal framework for mandatory vaccination if it’s a non-issue.
Since it is now clearly an issue in the US, it needs to be made mandatory…
A friend of mine grew up in USSR said that no child or adult would ever even consider declining vaccines. Everyone lined up for their injections when told, it was just not an optional thing at all. Now capitalism has brought in total chaos and the same people refusing vaccines for themselves and their families.
In the US there are other problems that should be addressed like (for one) how any dingdong can go around giving health advice and selling health-coded products, all kinds of claims, with only thinnest sheen of regulation. Better to apply a little pressure lots of ways than strong pressure only one way.
Problem is that the weakness is pervasive and difficult to dig out of a hole once you are in it.
We’re at the point of crisis now and it needs to become mandatory again. Not like “you get a fine” mandatory, but like “every town has a vaccination clinic set up and you get a date to go in” mandatory.
