Anti-Vaxxers, Churches, and the State

Anti-Vaxxers are no different from government. They use threats, not persuasion. There's nothing voluntary about subscribing to their anti-medical science views.

People obey the state not because there's an armed state agent in their face, but because the threat of an armed state agent is in their face in the future if they don't obey. People obey the Anti-Vaxxers not because toxic vaccine additives are in their face, but because the threat of illness spawned by those additives is in their face in the future if they don't obey.

Anti-vaxxers are like churches. They instill fears in children and adults alike. They indoctrinate. The First Amendment's free-speech protections ought not to apply to Anti-Vaxxers or churches.
