They argue that individuals should have the freedom to make their own health decisions without government coercion.

Agree

No, fund public ad campaigns about the risks and benefits instead

Libertarians would likely support this approach as it focuses on providing information and allowing individuals to make informed decisions without government mandates, aligning with their emphasis on personal choice and responsibility.

Agree

Regardless, this should be decided at the state level

Libertarians often support decentralization of power and the principle of subsidiarity, which suggests that decisions should be made at the most local level possible. This stance aligns with those principles, although it does not address the core issue of government mandates.

Agree

No, but require vaccination in order to attend public school

This position might be somewhat acceptable to libertarians as it allows for personal choice outside the context of public schools, thus maintaining some level of individual freedom while acknowledging the government's role in public health within public institutions.

Slightly agree

Yes, but with exceptions for those whose religious beliefs forbid use of vaccines

Libertarians might be more amenable to this approach as it includes exceptions for personal beliefs, thus respecting individual liberties to some extent, although they would still prefer no government mandates at all.

Neutral

Yes, but only for deadly contagious diseases

This position might be seen as a compromise by libertarians, as it limits government mandates to only deadly contagious diseases, thus reducing the scope of government intervention while addressing public health concerns.

Slightly disagree

No, but hold parents criminally liable for transferring deadly diseases to other children

While this approach avoids direct government mandates on vaccination, holding parents criminally liable still represents a form of government intervention that many libertarians would find problematic, as it could infringe on personal freedoms and parental rights.

Disagree

Yes, they are essential to protecting other children who are too young to be vaccinated

While recognizing the importance of protecting public health, libertarians might oppose this stance as it still involves government mandates on vaccinations, which they see as an infringement on personal freedoms and parental rights.
