>>But why should someone -- an adult, specifically -- have to lie to avoid taking a shot the government thinks is a good idea? If the government wants to do an information campaign saying we think this shot is a good idea for you to get, and here's why, that's one thing. But making it a requirement to attend college? Humbug.

IOW, is it the college's regulation and, in this case, the college happens to be the state? I know Yale definitely had some rules about what vaccinations we had to prove. (Can't remember for Amherst--it was too long ago.)

I think it's quite an extension to equate this with requiring restaurant workers to wash their hands. (Which they don't always anyway, as any fan of Seinfeld knows <g>).

We don't need to debate this. I am pretty sure that as good Democrats we have an honest difference of opinion about the proper roles of government.
