POLL: Do you think the vaccination against covid or any other virus should be compulsory?

Around Spain there has been little controversy over the voluntary nature of the vaccine against covid. Initially, before the European Union approved the first vaccine, the then Minister of Health, Salvador Illa, assured that the 'obligation to be vaccinated' could be studied if it were necessary to reach the wider population. But this option was soon scrapped. And the growing acceptance seemed to rule out this option: eight out of ten Spaniards are willing to be vaccinated as soon as possible.
But this Tuesday, Galicia has decided to carve its own path. Its Parliament, with the absolute majority of Alberto Núñez Feijóo's PP, has approved a reform of the Autonomous Health Law that allows sanctioning with fines of between 1,000 and 600,000 euros to be issued to people who unjustifiably refuse to be vaccinated against covid and against possible future viruses.
