I guess it's just too bad if you're immunocompromised, allergic to vaccines, too young to be vaccinated, in the middle of a virulent, highly transmissible pandemic, etc. -- wouldn't want to protect society from disease ravaged individuals because it might intrude on their "bodily autonomy."
- SilverElfin 1y agoPeople have to manage their own risks. If they don’t want to take on the low risks associated with COVID (and they are low based on numbers), they should limit their own exposure by staying home (as opposed to forcing others to stay home) or wearing masks or whatever. It shouldn’t result in others being compelled to inject things into their body. On a personal level, I do agree it is logical and also nice to be vaccinated. But keep in mind, vaccination means something different now. You are not immune to covid and you are still able to transmit it to others. The chances may be lower - but we’re already talking about something that has a low chance of causing serious health issues. So if someone is truly concerned about their health, whether society is vaccinated or not doesn’t matter - they would need to stay home regardless. In which case, why force others to get vaccinated?
- allturtles 1y agoThis news is about the elimination of childhood vaccine mandates - measles, mumps, rubella, hepatitis, chicken pox, polio, etc. It has nothing to do with COVID.
- cwillu 1y agoI'd be fine with that if the unvaccinated were required to carry liability insurance and there was a strong system capable of investigation and enforcement against people responsible for outbreaks, but they're not, so fuck 'em.
