If the vaccine works, and you are vaccinated, then why should you care what someone else does with their body? The vast majority of every western population is vaccinated, the number with COVID antibodies at this point is even higher still.
Do you really want to round up and kill anyone that doesn't comply with what you deem to be what they should do?
Because those making the decision are tasked with looking out for the health of everyone. I personally don't care what other people do until it impacts more than just their own health - which is why I'm also against drunk driving. Yes, I consider people's choice to not get vaccinated up there, morally, with drunk driving.
And no, obviously I don't think people should be rounded up and killed for not complying. But you are also aware your comment was not in good faith and not intended to advance the conversation, so the less said about your second paragraph the better.
I was serious about the second paragraph. It was not in bad faith... because that is what tends to happen after mass incarcerations, mass killing. There are people out there who genuinely have expressed those intentions. It's not funny, it's not ironic, and it can and has happened in history.
And no, it doesn't compare to drunk driving... Why, because the vaccinated still carry and transmit COVID, so that effectively means that everyone who goes outside is in your mind doing the same thing as drunk driving.
Where are the mass incarcerations right now? I’m mostly familiar w/ the US, but are people being arrested in droves for not wearing masks or following C19 guidelines? I agree that mass incarceration is a pre-req but don’t think it leads to genocide, while not seeing much mass incarceration.
The risks from C19 go beyond infecting other people. The only way to claim individuality would be if the unvaccinated were willing to bear the cost of hospitalization as well as accept lowest priority for health care. And if optional surgeries, like knee replacements, weren’t put aside to give care to someone unvaccinated.
That’s the problem with saying we all make our own choices and are “independent”. The reality is we are so interconnected that sometimes people can’t get their own way when required to protect the broader group.
You mean besides Australia, Austria and China for starters.
Also, if you are breathing, you can be a carrier for COVID. Are you saying you don't go outside among other people?
Beyond this, you specifically a few reptiles back are calling for mass incarceration. It's not okay, the drunk driving analogy is a false equivalence that applies to the vaccinated as well as unvaccinated.
UK is already completely dropping all restrictions. CDC finally recognizes natural immunity. Nearly everyone in the US has either been vaccinated or has COVID. All further restrictions, vaccine mandates or vaccine passports are FUD and anti science.
