“There is a very clear connection between human rights and mandatory vaccinations. It is 100 percent a human rights issue related to the right to privacy and the right to bodily integrity.

Governments can interfere with it if they can justify such interference as necessary for and proportionate to the achievement of another valuable goal.”
