There seems to be two different lines of thinking in regard to this issue and everyone falls into one or the other group. The first group consists of people who have decided that it makes sense for them to get the Covid vaccine, and therefore, by extension, they think that everyone else should get it also. In fact, most of them go so far as to favoring a requirement for everyone to get it or else not be allowed on airplanes, in schools, in restaurants, or pretty much anywhere in public.
The second group consists of people who think that everyone should have the right to decide for himself whether to get the vaccine and that no one should be shamed, coerced, intimidated, or forced to get the vaccine if he/she doesn't want to.
I am in the second group. I believe that every individual should have the right to choose what to allow to be injected into their bodies. I have no problem with either group trying to convince the undecided that their group is the best choice for them, but at the end of the day, it should be each individual's decision as to what to allow to be injected into his/her own body.
The argument that what others choose to do may affect people other than himself because the vaccines are not guaranteed to work is, in fact, an argument that supports the right of each individual to decide for himself because what that argument is saying, in essence, is that you should be forced to take a vaccine with no guarantee that it will even work and no guarantee that the vaccine itself won't harm you.
An individual should be allowed to decide for himself which risks concern him the most and act accordingly. Once we decide that it's alright for the government or "medical experts" to tell us what actions we must do for our own good and for the "good of society", then how long will it be before the government and medical officials decide to make daily prescribed physical activities or a certain prescribed diet a requirement and punish those who fail to do them and/or who gain too much weight? It might not be long after that that the government will decide which individuals are a benefit to society and which ones aren't. Of course, that would be followed by a plan to quietly and discretely dispose of those who are no longer considered useful to society.
Be careful the path you start down because it may lead to places you don't want to go.
