19. Scientists rush things to market all the time

That's why the FDA gets to come down with the humongous fines, and big pharma lawyers do a thriving business.

Also "vaccination" is a process. Which vaccine are we talking about? It's the content of the vaccinations that people dispute.

In the future the content of a vaccine might be rushed in response to an outbreak. After the outbreak, people might still fall under this "no opt out" law, and then they could suffer from some unknown side effects. The lawsuits and backlash from those side effects could dismantle the law, and then people would not only be vulnerable to measles all over again - there would be an electorate on the defensive about even having a discussion about vaccinations.

I studied history as a student, I can't help but think in historical ways. The way that we are behaving now in jamming vaccines down people's throats against such a rich. multivariant historical context is a recipe for backlash - and I'm sure it's going to come as an "utter surprise" to the decision-makers. If even one person dies in California from some sort of freak vaccine reaction after that law is implemented, their name is going to rhyme with Benghazi.
