Completely wrong. Using that logic we should not have speed limits, stop signs, or traffic signals. Freedom is not an unlimited concept. When your freedom impacts others it is the DUTY for government to step in. That is what a free country means.

It’s not true. https://www.cbsnews.com/news/covid-v...-unvaccinated/

The Crucial Vaccine Benefit We’re Not Talking about Enough
The vaccines not only prevent people from getting sick; they also cut down on transmission by those who get infected after immunization

https://www.scientificamerican.com/a...about-enough1/

Studies that claim they're similar by looking at only peak viral load get it wrong. The vaccinated recover much faster from an infection.

Here is the real story:

https://static01.nyt.com/images/2021...y=90&auto=webp


https://static01.nyt.com/images/2021...y=90&auto=webp


"But even with Delta, the overall risks for the vaccinated remain extremely small. As Dr. Monica Gandhi, an infectious-disease specialist at the University of California, San Francisco, wrote on Friday, “The messaging over the last month in the U.S. has basically served to terrify the vaccinated and make unvaccinated eligible adults doubt the effectiveness of the vaccines.” Neither of those views is warranted."

How old are they? Here is the study that came out a few weeks ago. https://www.ndm.ox.ac.uk/files/coron...ve20210816.pdf

This has been discussed ad nauseum, but since you missed it, I’ll recap.

There are certain factors we all agree to in order to participate in society. Agreed upon road signals is one of them. You agree to abide by these rules when you voluntarily get your driver’s license. If you do not wish to follow road laws, you can choose not to drive.

This is what we need to do in order to have a civilization. Road rules don’t favor one driver over another; everyone benefits equally.

We do not benefit equally, however, if I ask you to compromise your health in order to protect me.. It then becomes morally repugnant for the government to step in, to favor me over you.

Moreover, equating road rules to forced injection of an untested substance is ridiculous.

Why can't you recognize that fact?

The chances of having bigger complications are significantly lower, if vaccinated.

Why can't you recognize that fact?

The more this virus gets passed around by ignoring the above, increases the chances of it mutating and becoming more resistant to our current safety measures / vaccines. Which eventually leads to moving the goal posts to deal with it.

Why can't you recognize that fact?

For a vast majority of people, the vaccine is a huge boost to survivability, helps reduce the possibility to spread, and to help put this under control.

Why can't you recognize that fact?
