excellent lets forgo personal choice fort the good of the state. I can see this ending well.
Why won’t they let me put my whims and misunderstood needs before the safety of others?

For the good of your friends, neighbours, relatives, fellow humans.
God help me, I’m trying the best I can to avoid making a WW2 comparison.

My point, though, is that the vaccines are safer than Covid. I don’t think that’s remotely controversial except on the most lunatic of fringes.
The “vaccine hesitancy” creeps in when people start making triangulations about their own personal risk balance, ignoring that vaccines aren’t just about individual outcomes - they are about the population acting together to defeat a pathogen. About acting collectively to protect the weakest in society. My derision is for those who refuse to accept a degree of personal risk in order to defeat a common threat. It’s not that they’re poorly informed, it’s that they’re selfish.
