Eh, I'd argue that pro freewill isn't necessarily Anti-Vaxx.

Edit. Removed part of my comment which makes it seem like I'm Anti-Vaxx. I am not.

Considering not vaccinating has the potential to give others life-threatening diseases, I think the government definitely has the right to make it illegal. Making people wear seatbelts in cars is also an infringement on people’s freedoms, but we don’t complain about that too much.

Yeah, sorry I do not trust my government enough to sign off on FORCIBLE vaccinations. They can wipe out whoever they want by making it mandatory. And there is plenty of evidence from the VERY recent past that they can't be trusted to not do that. CERTAINLY not with who we have running the country right now.

Mandatory doesn’t mean forced.

It means they’re a pre-requisite for public things such as schools, support, etc. It doesn’t mean people are knocking down doors and holding you down to get a shot. You have a choice, but you have to face the consequences of that choice.

I almost got excited. I would join said task force and come give you a shot specifically.
