RE: Dear Anarchists, What Is Your Stance On Mandating Vaccinations?
In an ideal anarchist world, you would likely try to segregate the people, as this is the only logical solution. You would have a "no vax" colony, where disease ran wild, and a "vaxed" colony, where no one died of polio. Those unable to see the truth of the matter in the yearly data on number of deaths per capita would probably die of disease in the non-vax colony, while the rest would wisen up and get a shot.
Granted, this segregation would only work as well as logic could dictate, since no rule could be enforced to do so.
Interesting, so in that scenario it would still be a choice and the rights of the anti-vaccine people would be respected. The major flaw I see is in the method of segregation it would have to be a complete quarantine level segregation. To achieve such segregation would seem to require some sort of authority more powerful than current ones in their level of control over people.
Or enough space to allow such segregation to occur. It could likely start a war, if there were enough individuals on both sides that believed strongly enough in their cause, AND if the non-vax people wanted to integrate with the Vax people but the Vax people were against it. No higher power would be needed if EVERY Vax person agreed to carry something like a card proving their vaccinations, and required such cards for entry to their city. If every person were equal, they would likely all be soldiers, equally responsible for identifying and being the judge and jury for all infractions that threatened an agreed-upon lifestyle. So many hypotheticals are required to make that happen tho...
You mean a quarantine? Like a leper colony? Not sure that would go over well. And also, not sure how you plan to carry it out without the use of force. But if it were possible, and upheld by the public, then it would likely be a great incentive to GET vaccinated, assuming the vaccines were effective in preventing disease.
I still vote for @sicilian's answer.
