Poll of the Day > What's the counter argument that people who are vaccinated

(+) Yeah! (+)

shouldn't be upset at those that don't want to get the vaccine?

anti-vaccination side: If you're vaccinated it shouldn't matter if I'm not vaccinated since you're protected. I'm not inserting a hastily made vaccine into my body. If I get covid, it's not a big deal since it has a low mortality rate and treatment is widely available.

Because vaccines unfortunately aren't 100% effective, meaning unvaccinated people put everyone, including those that have the vaccine, at risk.

It's comparable to seatbelts in a way. You're mostly risking yourself by not wearing one, but in certain circumstances you're risking others.

Even aside from the fact that the vaccine isn't 100% effective, there's also the fact that everyone who isn't immune is basically a breeding ground for mutations, so for each person who doesn't vaccinate, there's a greater statistically likelihood that the virus will mutate to the point where it becomes immune to the existing vaccine, and we basically go right back to starting from square one all over again.

So that argument is kind of horseshit.

Even aside from the above, there's the argument that you're putting an undue tax on health care and insurance systems by creating an unnecessary risk, similar to why the "If I don't want to wear a seatbelt why should I be forced to?" argument is usually dismissed out of hand.

and because not everyone you are exposed to is vaccinated? Some people cant get it for health reasons.
And you could spread it to someone less heathy than you and kill them? That alone is enough reason to get it to me.

The people that aren't getting the vaccine are delaying the reopening of the economy and society at large. Ironic, since most of them dislike the covid restrictions to begin with yet do the action that keeps them in place

unless they have an allergy or a doctor says they shouldnt have a vaccine because theyre immune comprised, then starting July 1st an official should get them with the Stone Cold Stunner and inoculate them while theyre dazed
