I can understand why the push for vaccines even though they don't stop spreading and catching it. They seem to improve chances of survival and lessen chances of severe disease.
That said, if the government takes away benefits, then it should give back all the taxes withheld on one's salary before it does that.
On another note, personally I don't see any other solution to the pandemic, other than everybody/most people gaining some kind of natural immunity. Places requiring some form of green pass are none other than VIP superspreader events, where the Green Pass is the VIP ticket. People holding the Green Pass, will then go to meet others who may or may not be vaccinated, but who will eventually catch Covid.
- scott_w 5y ago> they don't stop spreading and catching it Not true, they do reduce infection and spread. > That said, if the government takes away benefits, then it should give back all the taxes withheld on one's salary before it does that. That’s not how government, taxes or being part of civil society works at all. > personally I don't see any other solution to the pandemic, other than everybody/most people gaining some kind of natural immunity This is scientifically illiterate as Omicron bypasses all “natural” immunity whereas a vaccine gives stronger protection. What’s to stop future variants doing exactly the same?
- peteradio 5y ago> vaccine gives stronger protection Maybe if youre boosted and its been 14 days but not greater than 45 days. But citation needed anyway. Natural immunity was not totally bypassed. South Africa kicked Omicron's ass with regard to case fatality rate.
