    • Other rights might also be relevant. Some believe that a right to religious freedom supports a right not to be vaccinated, although this is controversial. See Brown v. Stone 378 SO 2d 218 (1979), where the Supreme Court of Mississippi refused a religious exemption to vaccination as a condition of a child's entry to school. 48 US states do permit religious exemptions, and a few permit exemptions on the basis of 'philosophical' objections.

    • Thus the negligent, who like the intentional and reckless are at fault, are legitimate targets for self-defence. This is an ethical claim, and not a legal claim about self-defence in criminal and tort law which anyway varies among jurisdictions, My thanks to a referee for insisting on clarity here
