- q-big 5y ago> The virus is like playing russian roulette without a vaccine in you. Some people love to gamble. There exist people who are risk averse, risk neutral, or risk loving (in an economic or psychologic sense): https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Risk_aversion https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Risk_aversion
- munk-a 5y agoThat's cool - you can also love playing Russian Roulette itself - that doesn't mean we have to make it legal for you to actually do that. If the worst thing a vaccine mandate is doing is preventing you from getting your jollies from being an idiot I see no problem with enforcing a mandate.

- munk-a 5y agoYou may be surprised to hear this - but it's actually the case that fewer people died this year to Russian Roulette than to COVID - and a lot of those people didn't volunteer to spin the wheel. I don't think the specifics about proportional chance of loss are particularly relevant.
