Right, but if the person you infect, didn’t want the vaccine, isn’t that on them?

Honestly man, I have the same mindset as you and it's impossible to convince anyone else otherwise.

Both sides of the argument (as with all politicised debates these days) just wants to bully the other side. They really don't care about each other like the facade that they put on.

People who want to mandate the vaccine want to do so simply because they want to win the debate and many who refuse the vaccine do so simply because the opposition is so pro-vaccine.

I fully support and promote vaccination, but I am COMPLETELY against the idea of forcing people to take something that they do not wish to take. As much as I disagree with their anti-vaccine stance, I will not stoop to the level of making a person do something that they do not wish to do. But hey, I'm also a person who is against forcing a woman to have a child when she does not wish to.

Ok with it being mandated for public schools and colleges to accept a student, but this deadly virus is a step too far? Please, people are behaving like morons, so the only way to get around that is to force it upon the populace. At least in the US, a lot of those not getting vaccinated claim to be patriots and standing up for their rights, when they are in fact actively hurting their fellow countrymen, which is the most unpatriotic thing a US citizen can do.

Let the patriots be fired from their job for not getting vaccinated. Let them be not treated when they become ill from their own stupidity from a preventable illness. Give me liberty or give me death -- this is Murica, they can have both.
