Emperor Matthuis Decides:
Emperor Matthuis Officials Needled about Mandatory Vaccinations

Government Acts
The Issue
Health workers are frequently being ignored by people when recommending vaccinations against common illnesses. When these people subsequently become ill they require expensive emergency care. To correct this situation, many health experts are lobbying for mandatory vaccinations.

The Debate
Billy-Bob Longfellow, a pro-vaccination taxpayer, says "If a doctor thinks a vaccination is good for you then you should have it. All these people turning them down are know-it-alls that are wasting my tax money. Or they're really afraid of needles."
[Accept]


Calvin Barry, who recently refused a vaccination, says that vaccines must remain completely optional. "Anything else is a breach of human rights. Doctors are not always right" she says. "And this has nothing to do with my being terrified of needles!"
[Accept]


Hope Mistletoe, Emperor Matthuis's leading expert on health spending, suggests a third way. "Leave vaccines optional but make free health care conditional on having them. That way people get to choose, and it will help ease the load on our national healthcare budget."

This is the position your government is preparing to adopt.
The Government Position
The government has indicated its intention to follow the recommendations of Option 3.

If you wish, you may simply dismiss this issue.
