I agree that every individual has the right to get sick if they choose to. People do NOT have the "right" to engage in behaviors (like not getting vaccinated) that put the rest of us at greater risk.
For that to work most every individual in every country would need to be vaccinated. Won't happen. The U. S. does not control the whole world. The if I'm elected people etal that did the Syphilis experiments on Black men, gave smallpox blankets to Indians and uses Thimerosal (mercury based ingredients) in vaccines wonder why some people don't trust them.
Vaccinations are an individual decision...........should not be mandated by the state.
I have worked in pharmaceutical research....conducting trials........i was also in the military. I have received more than my share of vaccines as a young kid and through the military...........got a bunch more when I decided to ride a mountain bike from Cancun to Costa Rica. Vaccines are good things. But. I understand the hesitancy due to the mRNA nature of this new COVID vax..............did I take it? Yes.
While I do agree with the premise that you put forth, there is a portion that could be misunderstood. Thimerosal is no longer commonly used in vaccines. Only a few flu vaccines still have it listed as a preservative. There were dozens of medical studies concerning the supposed detrimental effects of thimerosal and none could find any harmful effects. In 2001 its use was mostly discontinued not because of any bad effects but because of people being afraid of it and not getting their kids vaccinated. Ethylmercury in thimerosal is not stored by the body like methylmercury and is metabolized and quickly excreted. You get more harmful mercury from eating a Filet-O-Fish than from a vaccine.
But as far as your premise of not trusting the government because of its past actions, I wholeheartedly agree. That is why I did my own exhausting research before getting my vaccine. Bob
I will be out the back door when they knock on the front door and meet them with a long gun. Hey... how y'all doing. I was just getting ready to shoot out back....
For several years before I got married I participated in many activities that put my life at risk every time we went out. In 3 short years I broke more bones and lost more flesh to frostbite than most will see in a lifetime. Three times I was so broken I should have died. It was the grace of God that saved me, nothing else. That was a form of "freedom" where each time I willingly gambled the rest of my days for a certain goal.
When I met my wife-to-be I recognized something more precious than those elusive goals and I set my sights higher. I sacrificed my autonomous veto over activities for a chance to spend the rest of my days with her. Luckily she said "yes" and now she is more important than I am. I willingly laid that freedom vote down because she relies on me to be here.
The same can be said for someone attempting to live by God's word. We are all born with free will and free choice. As we grow and become more influential in our communities, people ... especially kids ... see our behavior and it influences their behavior and decision making. The wise ones among us will recognize that and moderate our free will to be better examples for kids to follow. Teachers, pastors, Scout leaders ... we all willingly lay down our free will for the benefit of others.
You all do realize that it's still going and there are new variants is because Biden is having illegals sent all over the country and the border remains open
I there was a serious threat the border would be closed

I don't think you could be more wrong.

I think they should start in the south side of Chicago.
I'd like to know how me being vaccinated protects anyone else. That's like claiming I should wear a seat belt to protect texting drivers.
If you can explain that, then please tell me how wearing a mask that fogs up my glasses can contain anything I breath out. Or in.
Encouraging, or teeing up for a drive down the fairway?
You see, Sleepy Joe was right. His advice has been right one time since he was elected.------------------Ray
