The issue is your decisions not only affect YOU. That's the entire point. If you're spreading COVID, it affects all of us.
If your actions only affected you, nobody would care at all.
- betwixthewires 5y agoSo that argument is dead, it has been definitively for a few months now, and the proof is in the article we are discussing in this thread. Vaccination is not preventing transmission. it only lowers the likelihood of severe illness, apparently. So yes, my actions do only affect me, and potentially those who have chosen to take the same risk as me. Those who are vaccinated have the level of protection they signed up for, I have the level of protection I signed up for.

- mft_ 5y agoOut of (genuine) interest, would you be willing to sign a document denying yourself hospital care in the event you contracted COVID and your condition required hospitalisation?
