Professor Richard Moon authored a news article published in Policy Options magazine about vaccine-mandate opponents that base their opposition to vaccinations on liberty, conscience and equality.
"The second, and more common, objection is that the vaccinations are unsafe or unnecessary. The objectors dispute the evidence about the health risks of COVID-19 and/or the safety and efficacy of the vaccines, presumably on the basis of misinformation gathered in social media bubbles."
He goes on to argue that those who oppose vaccination cannot claim that the requirement to have one in certain circumstances breaches their freedom of conscience simply because they distrust or disagree with the science concerning vaccine safety and effectiveness or the risks of contracting COVID-19.
