This is not a paper, it's a letter to the journal. Space is very limited. The salient point is that governments are using shame and stigmatization to try and encourage vaccination, when in reality the unvaccinated are apparently only putting themselves at risk. The vaccines appear to help patients cope with and ward off the serious effects of Covid-19, but not significantly prevent infection or transmission (although a caveat is that this may go against the RCT data reported by Pharma to validate the vaccines -- but I haven't seen it myself). Stigmatizing the unvaccinated and even denying them medical care in some cases does nothing to help save lives, which should be the goal. Governments should be spending more efforts on proving that the vaccines are safe and well tested and developing treatments rather than bashing people who may become victims.
