It should be opt-in AND unvaccinated ppl should never face consequences in the future.
- bigbluedots 6y agoThe point of having a vaccine is to stop the spread of the disease. For that to work, we may need to mandate that people are vaccinated, and I am ok with that.
- chrisco255 6y agoNo, sorry. My body. My choice.
- bigbluedots 6y agoNope, not when your choice affects the rest of us.
- bmcn2020 6y agoI tend to agree with the "no mandataroy vaccination" thought. I'm no anti-vaxxer, nor a believer in the "plandemic". But the vaccine should be voluntary and highly recommended for at risk groups. After all, they're the ones who would be impacted the most.
- bkor 6y ago> I'm no anti-vaxxer, nor a believer in the "plandemic". But the vaccine should be voluntary and highly recommended for at risk groups. After all, they're the ones who would be impacted the most. That would not work. The high risk group would then get infected by other people. A vaccine isn't perfect. Similarly for people affected where you did not know beforehand that they would have a bad effect.
- bigbluedots 6y agoIt's not only the 'at risk' who would benefit from not getting the disease: many people who have been infected have not completely recovered, and it's not clear what the long term effects of the disease may be. Other than that, if we want to stop the spread then a high percentage of people will need to be vaccinated, which is difficult when personal freedom is put above all else.
- kwhitefoot 6y agoSo long as you don't mind being 'sent to Coventry' by the rest of us.
- moistly 6y agoNot when the health outcomes will financially cripple us all. We simply can not afford to continue having mass outbreaks of this disease. It costs absolute fortunes to deal with the immediate crisis, and fortunes more over the long term dealing with survivors’ continued ill health. “My choice” is simply not compatible with maintaining a healthcare system or even a productive economy.
- alias-dev 6y agoYou mean consequences outside of drowning in their own fluids?
- chrisco255 6y agoLook at the death rates for people under 45...it's like 1 in 10,000. In some cities and for certain age brackets, you're more likely to be murdered or commit suicide than to die from Covid. The car accident fatality rate is roughly 1 in 10,000.
- noir_lord 6y agoIt's not just the death rate. It's long term physical damage even if you survive.
- chrisco255 6y agoVast majority of people who contract this illness don't even show symptoms at all. That's what's weird about this disease. It seems to affect the elderly disproportionately but for younger people and people with no risk factors, the risk is exceedingly low that one will experience SARS at all.
- bkor 6y agoIf you're not affected by covid-19 but something else you'll still have a problem if the hospital is overwhelmed due to covid-19. I've noticed various countries in Europe where they delayed various hospitalizations. Similarly, various people avoided going to a hospital while they usually would go. How many people will have permanent problems (despite surviving) due to covid-19 is still unknown AFAIK.
- xlm1717 6y agoDid they delay or avoid hospitalization because the hospitals are overwhelmed, or because treatments/diagnostics to their conditions were deemed non-essential or elective?
- amanaplanacanal 6y agoI know some childhood vaccinations are required here, but I’m not aware of any adult vaccinations that are generally required. Possibly flu shots for health care workers?
- moistly 6y agoIf you travel, vaccinations are sometimes not optional, depending on the destination.
