No. Diseases are nothing new in the world, my friend. Individual rights did not die just because a novel coronavirus about 20-30% deadlier than the flu showed up. Sorry, these debates were settled when far worse diseases were around than Covid-19, including smallpox, polio, measles, yellow fever, Rocky Mountain fever, Spanish flu, tuberculosis, HIV, and more. You don't get to dictate what others do with their bodies. Your risk factor is on YOU. If you want the vaccine, which is supposedly only 90% effective (notably less than the 99.9% effectiveness of young immune systems), then you can get the vaccine. End of story.
- AnimalMuppet 6y agoSo you see people as being free to infect others but not free to not be infected. And you see that as "individual rights". Now, if you're arguing that people shouldn't be forced to be vaccinated, I agree with you. But you could make the same argument that people shouldn't be forced to wear masks, and I'd say "then don't allow them into the store".
- chrisco255 6y agoRight. It's called liberty. No one ever said freedom came without risks. In fact, the people who fought for it often died for it. And they set it in stone: Live Free or Die. The reason is simple, if you're afraid of death, then your fear of death will be used to control you. I think if people want to live in a bubble they should be free to live in a bubble. And if they want liberty over medical tyranny they have that right. Businesses should be free to set their own policies and I should be free to choose which businesses I go to based on which policies I'm comfortable with.
