Fox Host: Vaccine Mandates Will Destroy The Constitution, Declaration Of Independence

Fox News legal analyst Andrew Napolitano defended Sen. Rand Pauls recent remarks on vaccinations in his WorldNetDaily column today, writing that proponents of vaccination mandates want the government to own our bodies and create a society much like Big Brother in George Orwells novel 1984. f the government owns our bodies, then the presumption of individual liberty guaranteed by the Declaration of Independence and the Constitution has been surreptitiously discarded, and there will be no limit to what the government can compel us to do or to what it can extract from us in the name of science or any other of its modern-day gods, he said, warning against giving power to Big Government politicians who seek to intervene in all realms of society.
"The science is overwhelming that vaccinations work for most children most of the time. Paul, who is a physician, said, however, he knew of instances in which poorly timed vaccinations had led to mental disorders. Yet, he was wise enough to make the pro-freedom case, and he made it stronger than Christie did. To Paul, the issue is not science. Thats because in a free society, we are free to reject scientific orthodoxy and seek unorthodox scientific cures. Of course, we do that at our peril if our rejection of truth and selection of alternatives results in harm to others."

Where this falls down is that we are not alone in our choices and we don't have the right to make these same stupid choices for others.
Parents don't have the right to destroy their kids' lives, and they certainly don't have the right to destroy the lives of their kids' school and playmates.
