[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don’t get the vitriol over the non vaxxers.
My husband and I are vaccinated along with our parents. I really don’t care if my neighbor gets vaccinated or not. I don’t care if my coworker gets vaccinated or not. I don’t care if any of the people working on my team get vaccinated or not.
What I like them to be vaccinated? Yes. But it’s really none of my business.
Enforcement of any vax rules to go to the movies or put to eat  will be impossible. [/quote]

The problem is that if your neighbors and coworkers don't get vaccinated, it's going to be really hard for the country to get to herd immunity. And we need them to get vaccinated in order to protect kids, immunocompromised people and people who are physically unable to get the vaccines (not anti vaxxers). So we should all care. [/quote]

+1. Also the more people infected increases the chances that more virulent or deadly strains will develop. Some of those may not be covered by the vaccine. So the rest of us will keep needing updated boaters or risk getting sick from the new strains. We are not isolated from others' choices. [/quote]

And that is justification for measures that control spread while we are still in the midst of all this, and while other parts of the world literally have people dying in the streets.

But the paranoid persecution fantasies that sometimes get posted here? That's addressing some internal mental health issue, not reality. The point is to control spread, not to punish people. I get that it may feel like punishment, but -- pandemic. Make your choices and live (hopefully) with them. [/quote]
