I sort of agree but...
Because if too many don't get vaccinated we can't reopen things or they'll die.
Because if too many don't get vaccined they'll use up all the medical resources and I'll die from some untreated cancer or not being able to get a ventilator after a non-covid issue means I need one.
Both of these issues can be solved immediately by just agreeing to let anyone who has declined the vaccine die. But that's strangely not popular, even with people who decline the vaccine and then get sick. Very few stand by their principles then.
People have to choose: freedom and consequences or neither.
- nradov 5y agoWhat are the actual odds that you'll die from one of those causes due to a lack of medical resources? How do those odds compare to your risk of dying in, let's say, a vehicle crash?
- LatteLazy 5y agoHere in the UK, the 6m up to July this year saw 15% more deaths from non-covid causes. https://www.ons.gov.uk/peoplepopulationandcommunity/birthsdeathsandmarriages/deaths/articles/analysisofdeathregistrationsnotinvolvingcoronaviruscovid19englandandwales28december2019to1may2020/28december2019to10july2020 https://www.ons.gov.uk/peoplepopulationandcommunity/birthsde... So it might well be higher than you think. And that doesn't include people giving each-other covid they wouldn't have otherwise gotten. I'd love to see a table comparing covid vaccine refusal to other similar anti-social and dangerous behaviours. What are the actual odds I'll be killed by a drunk driver or felon with a gun? Maybe we should get serious about vaccines but relax about those issues if they're statistically safer...
- downrightmike 5y agoThe odds of dying go up astronomically if there are no beds or services.
