Stephen L. Carter: Vaccine mandates and personal liberty can coexist
Bloomberg Opinion (TNS)
Share
Although the sentiment may seem paradoxical, libertarians should cheer this week’s decision by a federal judge upholding Indiana University’s vaccine mandate for students. The court reached the right result and the judge’s reasoning provides a forceful reminder that the government’s regulatory power, even in an emergency, is far from unlimited.
Like other colleges and universities, Indiana plans to reopen fully this fall, and is requiring that all students provide evidence of vaccination unless they’ve received religious or medical exemptions. Only in this way so university authorities contend can the campuses return to their proper functioning.
Hmmm. Coercion wins, individual liberty loses. Why on earth should libertarians cheer?
Letâs go back a step.
Libertarians celebrate individual freedom. Theyâve long been associated with opposition to vaccine mandates, which restrict personal liberty and interfere with bodily integrity. But that doesnât make them anti-vaxxers. One can consider a thing desirable without believing people should be forced to do it. (Think prayer.) A 2019 Australian study found no correlation between scoring high on an index of libertarian thought and refusing to vaccinate oneâs own children. On the contrary: Left to choose for themselves, libertarians were as likely as anyone else to want their own children vaccinated.
