6. COVID is a problem because of it's virality not so much symptoms, i.e. it's about the network or community affect, less so the individual affect.
I don't know who people have this kind of narrow (and a little bit selfish) idea that it's only about 'them' and 'if they catch it'.
COVID is not that deadly on a unit level. It's dangerous because of how incredibly viral it is, then it becomes 'net scary' for the community.
By being unvaccinated - even if you survive - which you likely will you are passing it to others and you become a propagating agent of death.
Take the purely libertarian perspective of 'my body my choice' - well in that view, you'd have to be responsible for your actions as well, and therefore arguably liable for everyone you infect and all the damage you cause.
It's not going to work.
If we're going to live as a community and share services, resources and spaces ... then we have do adjust our behaviour at least temporarily so that this diseases doesn't kill a lot of people.
It's very troubling to me that this isn't obvious to every adult.
