Supreme Court of India: “No one can be forced to be vaccinated, no mandates”…so this begs the questions, what is so special about India? Why has USA, Canada etc. and other 1st world’s failed?

 

India’s top court on Monday ruled that no person can be forced to get vaccinated and the constitution gives everyone the right to refuse vaccination, in a milestone judgement on the country’s Covid-19 policy.  

“Considering bodily autonomy, bodily integrity is protected under Article 21. No one can be forced to get vaccinated. [But] government can regulate in areas of bodily autonomy,” the bench said. Article 21 of the Indian Constitution gives protection of life and personal liberty to citizens. 

The bench, however, said that the current vaccine policy was not “unreasonable”, as it was based on scientific evidence, but suggested that while infection rates are low, individuals should not be restricted from accessing public places and services.
