On the other hand, nobody has the right to kill others by refusing a 
proven medical vaccination. But because you're only going to affect some 
statistic in a table of deaths in 10 years time, nobody cares.

The problem with this issue is that the person deciding whether to take 
the injection or not doesn't have to bear the full cost of their 
decision. For example by deciding not to have the injection that results 
in more people needing medical care or dying, plus the cost of 
continuing vaccinations for the rest of the world.

In order to make it fairer, the cost of treating and vaccinating the 
rest of the world should be divided up between the number of people who 
refuse the injection, and they are made to pay that. If they can't 
afford that, they are given the injection forcefully :-)
