It sounds like a simplistic, self-centered view of liberty. It's impossible to live in a population-dense society and not have your actions affect other people. If you think that seat belt laws, mask mandates during a pandemic, or scho

It's more complicated than that. The vaccines don't work for everyone. There are certain medications and health conditions that interfere with the vaccines. Even if they stay home, vulnerable people are at risk from coming into co
