I didn’t miss the point, he and his wife are just being needlessly stubborn. This isn’t a cause worth sacrificing the safety of your wife and kids for. Regulations exist for a reason. You don’t just get to say “hey I’m going to not vaccinate my kids for polio because I don’t feel like it”. How is this any different?

> You don’t just get to say “hey I’m going to not vaccinate my kids for polio because I don’t feel like it” Plenty of people do this, it's pretty easy to get an exemption for most things like that. My parents did it just fine.

And the only reason you didn’t have a chance of getting polio is many other parents didn’t.

This is such garbage. You’re not a freedom fighter for not getting a COVID jab, you’re an asshole. This shot has been given to over a billion people and is known safe around the world. Imagine if someone put up this kind of fuss over a polio vaccine for their kids.

> "This is such garbage."

I assume you're actually referring to yourself with the above comments and not the person on Twitter. It boggles my mind how we aren't even 100 years away from a time where certain people were forced to wear the "Star of David" before those same people were murdered enmasse by the rest of society all the while feeling entirely morally justified in doing so because the government mandated it.

Now let's set aside the elephant in the room for a moment, where sane people realize the vaxxed should have nothing to fear from the unvaxxed if the miracle vaccines do indeed do what they say on the box, then all we're left with is a group of people, that includes yourself, who are seconds away from again morally justifying the mass murder of other citizens all the while feeling entirely morally justified in doing so because the government has again provided them with the necessary moral justification for those murders via government mandates.

And you think YOU are the good guy in this situation? I started this comment by quoting you, so I'll finish it the same way:

> "... you're an asshole."

That makes no sense, you’re comparing people refusing to get vaccinated to end a pandemic to one of the biggest genocides in history.

We’re not killing unvaccinated people, we’re denying them access to restaurants and bars. They’re killing themselves though.

Did you even read the OP's link? The government, and now by extension via mandates, the vaxxed, are denying unvaxxed any ability to access normal supply channels for personal income, food, education, clothing, home repair supplies and other basic needs for surviving in modern society, and just because they didn't literally put a gun to the unvaxxed people's heads and pull the trigger, you somehow see the recipients living under all those restrictions as the perpetrator of their own demise who deserve death by what is essentially the equivalent of "japanese inspection."

This post overlaps things that are intellectually interesting and politically charged. Unfortunately it has been flagged because of the latter. We as a society should be concerned when the level of dehumanization on any front approaches that of the grievous past we should all be aware of

While this is true, governments are massively over-stepping their authority. Also, trust in government in post-soviet countries isn't exactly high to begin with. It's one thing to require proof of vaccination for places like restaurants, another to require an electronic pass to buy essentials like groceries.

True, but at the same time we’re not going to win this battle without a very high vaccination rate. Perhaps food delivery or some other mechanism can be set up for the anti-vaccers.

That narrative is contradictory to mainstream science. Herd immunity is naturally occurring. Follow the money.

Of course he CAN NOT be a freedom fighter and this jab MUST BE safe ... because otherwise ... what would that would make you?
