> most that will get it, will self isolate
Sadly if that was enough we wouldn't be here talking about it.
> 3. This policy is also vindictive and punitive to people that have had the disease already
They can get vaccinated too.
> who are more protected against COVID than those with vaccine
Source?
> At any moment, anyone could have some transmittable disease that puts your health at risk.
Sure, but they don't put as much risk as COVID. If it does, the same steps as covid will be implemented. Quarantine isn't new, it's just rare that so much more is needed.
> Dividing society and isolating people based on a minuscule probability
On a minuscule probability? If it was minuscule, again, we wouldn't be talking about it right now. The propagation rate are crazy, even considering everything we do to lower it. There's nothing minuscule about it.
> Especially a disease that is curable for 99%+ of people.
But that put an high strain on our health system for no other reason than the imaginary fear about the vaccine.
I always said it. If only 1% were dying, even if I disagree with it that idea, we wouldn't have done any of this, we would just have taken the decision to let them die, even though it so many people. The big issue is the hospitalization rate. There's so many surgeries that have to be postpone, so that we can keep alive anti-vax long enough.
> Anyone with a cold or flue can spread disease as well.
Yup, at a far lower rate and much less risker of hospitalization than COVID, but yeah. I personally seriously hope that we will treat flu season differently, but people like you make me less hopeful for that to happen. All that said is while still considering that it put much less strain on our health system than COVID.
> 5. Based on the trends in Israel, (early high vaccination rate)the virus just mutated, and evolved, and is happily reinfecting the vaccinated. This happened in a span of months. The further back someone has been vaccinated the more likely they are to get sick.
If that is true, it's just as much true for the immunity given by getting the virus. I mean you do know that clearly as you said "reinfecting" for someone that got vaccinated...
> By this logic anyone with an STD should be barred from having sex.
If you lie about your STD to a sex partner, there could definitely be legal repercussion to that.
> And if we take it the next step. Bars should be closed down because they facilitate the spread of STDs.
Going to a bar doesn't facilitate the spread of STD, there must be much more involved for STD to be propagated. Is it the scale of covid too? Here in Quebec 6% of case require hospitalization. I don't believe that in average someone with an STD give it to up to 8 others.... oh and dying from an STD is much less likely too.
> Groups more likely to carry STDs should be isolated.
Funny that you say that, I know plenty that can't give blood ;). Even considering they only slightly increase the risk of propagation and it can be tested easily.
> Its taking decades off their lives
Decades? Come on, sure you were completly ignoring any statistics before that statement, but that's just a whole other level of absurdity. Both world war were horrible, the spanish flu happened during that time, some pretty importants economics crash, plenty of events that clearly increased suicide because of how awful they were (unlike covid, which didn't seems to have an impact) and still the life expectancy just kept increasing. You still think though that this single event will takes off decade of our life? God damn it.
