With the
Zika virus starting to affect more and more people in America, a vaccine is needed. In the article from CNN, it is talking about Obama asking congress for 1.8 billion dollars for a vaccination. One of the problems is that it may take years to be made, which will not be good for the people affected by it now and in the future. A question is "will it be a mandatory vaccine in all Americans"? In my opinion, I feel it should be, every one should get the vaccine so every one is protected from it. Although there are people who will protest being forced to get it, it is in every ones best interest. We need every one protected so it can't keep spreading.

I think that you make a good point that we should all have the vaccine but there are factors to consider. First, Although some might not agree with people who do not want the vaccine I do not feel everyone should not be forced to get it. It goes against our natural rights perhaps infringing on our freedom of choice. Second, it could prevent an outburst and perhaps protect public health but before anything is proposed we have to have data to support this outcome. Third, I think that first the vaccine would have to be tested to make sure that there are no side effects. I would also say that the vaccine would need to produce a substantial effect where it benefits and protects our population.
