The topic has come under intense scrutiny since Adrian Gore, founder of Discovery, said that all 10,000 strong of the conglomerate's workforce would be required to be vaccinated.

Besides violating a persons freedom of choice, Papenfus goes a step further and states that mandatory vaccination is morally incorrect. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
