Fox News's Geraldo Rivera on Monday knocked "crazy talk" on cable television about people "having the constitutional right not to get vaccinated."
"Yes (they may be dopey) but they do have that right. We too have rights: to deny the unvaccinated access to our home, school or business," Rivera wrote on Twitter.

Rivera has been vocal in urging people to get vaccinated. His wife Erica Rivera posted a video of the cable news personality slamming "vaccine skepticism" on Sunday, telling his followers that he is "extremely concerned about the fact that there are way too many Americans who are skeptical of the efficacy of the vaccine."
"The Moderna, the Pfizer, the Johnson and Johnson vaccines, they are safe and effective. They have been used now by almost 200 million Americans. So stop the bulls---. They are safe and effective, period," Rivera continued.

(853 posts)should have the right to ostracize them from the general population.
I mean most of these fools are all in on stand your ground laws. Most allow people to respond to threats or force without fear of criminal prosecution. Most self-defense laws state that a person under threat of physical injury has a duty to retreat . If after retreating the threat continues, the person may respond with force.
Contracting a potentially deadly disease should certainly constitute a threat.
Why shouldn't we turn their silly notions right back on them?

(4,164 posts)My Mother, born in 1926, told me about the years before vaccines. When any one person in a household had a contagious illness, up went the sign. People stayed away and the family couldn't go out.
Now we can order groceries online or work from home. I know not everyone can work from home. We have to do something to let the anti-vaxxers that we don't trust them.
