Talking about stereotyping. I am pro-vaccine but I do not support vaccine mandates for adults.
Unfortunately, this means that as an a vaccinated person, periodically I will be forced to wear masks and socially distance to protect the hospitals from the unvaccinated (whether they want me to or not), something that I very much resent.
The data clearly shows that the benefits of getting vaccinated outweigh the the risks at all age levels (obviously, the older the person that greater the relative benefit).
If it wasn't for the fact the we all share a common hospital resource, I wouldn't care one way or the other if someone decides to get vaccinated or not. I do think, though, that the decision should be made with a full understanding of the risks and benefits rather than with anecdotes and conspiracy theories.
