I don't think that's a good analogy because wearing one's seatbelt correctly saves the majority of lives. There is no large subset of children who were better off not wearing seatbelts, except in extremely rare cases. You cannot say the same thing for vaccines, especially as they finding a correlation between vaccines and a number of disabling conditions. |
It's a very good analogy, the great majority of people exposed to a disease are protected from disease by the vaccine as the great majority of people in an accident are protected from injury by the seat belts. There are a small number of people who are adversely effected by the vaccine, and there are only a few accidents where wearing seat belts is less safe.
Your whole argument has been that those few who are effected by the vaccine should dictate the actions of the many who would be helped by the vaccine. If you were ever in an auto accident where the seat belts were a hindrance to your safety, you would be actively campaigning to repeal the seat belt law.
