People often dislike the idea of “prevention is better than cure” only a few would understand this, So it gets complicated when people don’t wanna listen which might leave an affect on others. One common example is vaccines and other preventive care.
The question is if people should be forced when they refuse to take them. Also, if that kind of decision is gonna bring harm for others? Or is it fair to force someone? Well, I don't have kids amd still young, but I'm willing to share my knowledge based on what I have noticed in the surroundings.
First of all, I like freedom and I believe everyone wants freedom as well. Like no one would like it if their life is controlled by someone else because it's their bodies and their children. And parents do not like to take others advice because they feel responsible for their own kids and wanna do it their own way.
Most of them refuses to take vaccines because they often don't trust the doctors, or they are scared of the consequences, or influenced by someone who is inexperienced. Some are blind to religion beliefs that they don't wanna take care of themselves. They always had assumptions about vaccines being hafmful. So in their point of view preventive care feels unnecessary.
The problem arrives, when their choices cause others to suffer. Because disease can spread from one person to another which is not a new thing. So, when someone denied for a vaccine at that time they raise the probability of risk and putting others in danger and as a result the other people starts to get sick.
People who cannot take their own decisions are the old people or the small babies, it's hard for them to protect themselves in a proper way. Because they don't take their own decisions and their well being plus health depends on someone else, who takes their responsibility.
In crowded places sickness can spread and it passes from one person to another, take an example for covid-19, it was a disaster people had to go under lockdown barely got the chance to go outside. Everyone had to start wearing mask. So, health is not a personal thing for one person but we all are sharing the same air. That is the main reason of everythint so if a person doesn't take wise decisions then it can affect a whole group. It's a serious matter which should get attention.
I think many people refuse preventive care because they are not well educated because they do not have the right information. Even though I don't have kids but by observing my parents I can undressed that every parents want the best for their children. But we live in a society so we should think about others well being as well. We shouldn't create problems for others. Instead we all need to cooperate with each other and make our life healthier and easier. Otherwise we all would be falling apart together.
