Now that a legitimate vaccine is on the horizon, I guess I can ask myself this question again.
To be honest, back when I was a hardcore libertarian, this was one of the scant few topics I tended to stray from my pack on. For a real libertarian, words like "mandatory" and "compulsory" are 4-letter words.
Now that I'm a bit more authoritarian, I think it should be required. The truth is that herd vaccination (forced or voluntary) is probably the greatest positive externality out there.
Anti-vaxxers are amongst the dumbest sons of bitches breathing God's air today, and a good chunk of why I pulled away from libertarianism. America is too stupid, as a whole, to be granted power over its own destiny. The last several months have just enforced this.
