In the USA we are in the middle of a conflict between mandates to get vaccinated [while a pandemic/plague is raging on] and the citizens' civil right to choose medical care at one's own discretion. This is a social issue that cannot be resolved by the utility or efficiency of vaccination, that is, whether vaccination really hinters the spread of the plague, or whether it prevents a human organism to be destroyed by coronavirus or variants.
My First contention: Every US citizen is a free person and has the correlative duty of respecting the freedom of the other citizens, wherefore no citizen may be forced/coerced to buy or sell anything, to join a religion, to eat or not to eat, or to do anything which is supposedly beneficial to either oneself or to others. Therefore, a citizen does not have to abide by any law, order, or mandate that contradicts his civil rights (freedoms).
My second contention: By joining the US political society, the Republic, a person commits himself to respecting the personal freedom of every citizen and preserving the collective freedom of the citizenry, wherefore he voluntarily assumes the duty of participating in the military defense of his country and of paying taxes for the necessary collective expenses (which in principle are determined by the House of the people's representatives).
My third contention: The States and the Federal Congress make social laws, that is, laws as to how a citizen must or must not act toward another citizen. However, given a community of people , there are or there should be laws/rules [promulgated by the owners/directors of such institutions] about a member's duties [communal duties] precisely because of their cohabitation, such as personal cleanliness, not smoking there, not coming to work if having a contagious disease. The members of the community may not be forced to be vaccinated, but if they do not follow the rules of the house, they have to accept the consequences, such as dismissal/expulsion, etc.
