Best form of civil disobedience for these authoritarian and I would argue unlawful government mandates.

    Maybe if you're immuno-compromised, you should take more precautions. Especially since the vaccines do not prevent spread. "But they reduce the chance of spread!" the first reply will say. Great! Tell that to your immuno-compromised friends, neighbors and family that you killed because you were "less likely" to spread Covid, but did so anyway.

    I'm immunocompromised because of some medication I take, but I don't agree with the idea of the government forcing people to undergo a medical procedure. I'm fully vaccinated and I hope that others get vaccinated too, but mandates under threat of consequences are a clear violation of medical ethics. (and yes, it is a medical procedure with demonstrable risks)

    No, I don’t buy this “pull the heartstrings to protect grandma” fallacy. For it to be true, the vaccines would have to be highly effective at preventing infection and these vaccines are not highly effective at preventing infections. The Covid vaccine protections stop at the vaccinated individual, with perhaps a side benefit of easing some healthcare system stress due to severe disease prevention. Also, plenty of studies are out that now that show that the infected, whether vaccinated or not have statistically equivalent viral shedding. You are equally contagious whether vaccinated or not. If you are that immuno-compromised, you need to take whatever precautions you need to do to protect yourself and not place that responsibility on anyone else.
