Yes, and fine parents who refuse to vaccinate their children

No, we have free will although not vaccinating is a terrible idea unless you know you’re allergic to it

I personally support them for myself and loved ones; however, unless they are scientifically proven to stop the spread of the diseases, it shouldn't be legally binding.

No, people and parents should have the right to make decisions about medical issues themself, the government should not have the right or ability to force anyone to be vaccinated
@9M65LBK2 days2D
I'm personally in favour of vaccines, but in the case of COVID-19, they clearly don't stop the spread of the disease.
