Should people who refuse medical treatment or vaccination face no penalties or disadvantages?

AI-generated summary, admin reviewed: This initiative required a person's consent for any state action affecting physical or mental integrity. A person who refused could not be punished or suffer social or professional disadvantages. Although the campaign was closely associated with vaccination, the legal text was broader and could also affect areas such as police searches and prisons. Supporters argued that nobody should be pressured or disadvantaged for refusing an intervention. Opponents said bodily integrity was already protected and warned that the proposal's wider legal consequences were unclear. Swiss voters rejected the initiative.
