Comment on Being afraid of vaccines is literally childish behavior.

  You can’t mandate that you get to infect me.

  If you want to be a part of society, then

  • vaccinate
  • or, wear a mask
  • or, keep your distance / stay home when sick

  Your bodily choice extends to your body and ONLY your own body

    I mean, I would have gotten fired if I didn’t get the shot. I didn’t really have a choice in the matter. I wasn’t given the option to wear a mask or keep distance.

      What kind of workplace? Did they have a reason for masks not being enough? Because I know a few scenarios where masking wouldn’t solve the entire problem

      Also, most workplaces that implemented their own requirements was not doing it “on behalf of the government” but because they didn’t want their workers to get sick and didn’t want liability for sick customers

  It quickly gets more complicated when it affects others.

  Is it your bodily choice to smoke on the street? No, because others have to inhale it. Same idea - no one wants to breathe in your disease-causing microbes.

    You are fully allowed to smoke in the street. The tuskegee experiment is a prime example of the infallible government doing fuck shit medically. I don’t like being forced to ask HOW HIGH when the government decides to tell me to jump.

      Depending on the country, it might be banned, and that’s one obvious example I came with.

      And, in my opinion, it must be, no matter what you smoke, tobacco or weed or something else. Why the hell should others inhale terrible chemicals just because you chose to?

      Same, why should they be exposed to dangerous microbes just because you are reckless?

        Vaccines have side effects. This is a fact not antivax propaganda. The federal government set up the National Vaccine Injury Compensation Program. Forced to pay out over 5 billion since 1988. This is specifically because getting a vaccine ISN’T risk free and never has been. Then the really fucked up part happened, covid vaccines aren’t included in the national vaccine injury compensation program. Because they were rolled out in a state of emergency, they fall under a different program. Unsurprisingly, the program they fall under is significantly more strict making it extremely difficult to be compensated, although some people still have for nearly half a million dollars. The program covid vaccines is under is called Countermeasures Injury Compensation Program. I am fully vaccinated against everything possible because I chose to take that risk, forcing people to is where I have the issue.
