A regional politician in my country is asking the President of the Government to make mandatory the vaccination of the entire population because "a 5% or 7% of negationists can mess up things for everyone".
Some vaccines are already mandatory and have been for many decades, before some people were born.
I agree, but all the vaccines in your list have passed the legal pre-clinical and clinical trials and are proven to be safe to use.
But we are not talking about these, but about a new therapy that has just a few months of research.
I do understand that taking into account the emergency in all the world and the threat for some elderly and vulnerable people, they are helping many people for whom it is less the risk of the vaccine than of the virus; but making mandatory for all, young and children included, without knowing the side-efects in the mid-long term, is just insane to me.
I have worked for a biotech and here you are the typical timeline prescripted for any drugs (without the preclinical phase which should be added); taking into account that a vaccine, genic therapy or whatever can be much riskier than any typical drug, it is my opinion that no one should be forced to get it for now. Because if we agree, what will be next? Would you really like every children in the world to be inyected with something you don't know which effects could have in, say, 5 years?
