A flourishing democracy should have a great deal of space for a wide range of beliefs and practices. The issue of vaccine hesitancy requires that we have as much data and information as possible in order to determine the precise point at which those beliefs and practices may endanger others or the population as a whole. Imposing restrictions before determining that point is about power rather than protection, and ultimately alienates portions of the population.
一个繁荣的民主社会应该为各种信仰和实践留出很大的空间。疫苗犹豫问题需要我们尽可能多地掌握数据和信息，以便确定这些信仰和实践在何时可能危及他人或整个人口。在确定这一点之前就施加限制，与其说是为了保护，不如说是为了权力，最终会使部分民众感到疏远。
