It is not impossible to prevent vulnerabilities when using npm audit fix --force, but it is not recommended to use this command unless there is no other way to manage the vulnerabilities. The --force flag will forcibly remove conflicting packages and might cause other issues in the project. It is better to try and resolve the vulnerabilities by updating packages or fixing the code where necessary. Additionally, regularly conducting security audits on the project can help prevent vulnerable dependencies from being added to the project in the first place.
