Opposing mandates isn’t anti-vaccine or anti-science.

  The virus is endemic now, the pandemic is over. Get vaccinated if you wish, most people already have natural immunity.

  why aren't we locking everyone in a 2m cage with food delivered by drone to stop the pandemic faster

  People who've had the disease have no reason to get vaccinated, denying that is simply denying data&science. In any case, the pandemic won't end when everyone's vaccinated, but instead when everyone stops being afraid of it; the virus cannot be stopped (at least not with the current version of the vaccines) so the only change possible is the society's reaction to it.

  Anti-science is religion which is blindly following a myth. Are you blinding following the myth that covid will go away if everyone gets a shot? Anyone who doesn't have one is holding this up?

    Not the person you're replying to, but if everyone gets a shot then the restrictions can go away. There a lot of articles[1] that say vaccinated can get Covid, but the chances of a bad sickness or death is much much lower. If everyone is vaccinated then Covid will really just be a flu. For example Portugal with 98% vaccination rate and no idiots screaming "oppression!" has dropped mask mandates. Sometimes I do wish the governments would just drop restrictions and let the unvaccinated deal with it, but luckily for them, governments still have a duty to care even for the belligerent, even providing them with hospital care when they get the virus. [1] which the antivaxxer can just dismiss as propaganda or fake news!

      Go ask Israel. They are on their third required booster shot. Are you so naive that you think the government will give up this power after it has successfully forced the masses to inject a vaccine with no long terms studies?

        You're going to need to provide a source for this.

        The claim: > They are on their third required booster shot. The source you provided: > To be considered fully vaccinated in Israel people must meet one of the following criteria: be 12 or older and have received a booster shot at least a week ago; be within six months of having received a second vaccination shot; or be within six months of having tested positive for Covid-19. You are not a serious person.
