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.

Herd immunity occurs naturally once 90% of the population gets infected with COVID. Do the math on how many deaths, Yeats of life lost, and increased medical costs that carries with he saturation of the medical system.

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.

I have heard that authorities also plan to impose taxes(stealing our money), driving passes, border entry passes as per their whims and fancies. Shocking what the future holds.

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?

So the government putting artificial restrictions because of a virus that mostly kills very old people or people with at least 3-4 morbidities is "not a cause worth" it? The day something slightly more dangerous comes around, you can say goodbye to all your freedoms because you did not push back this time around. This creates precedents.

> polio

I love stupid analogies like that, as if an mRNA vaccine was just the same type of vaccine as a polio vaccine. Btw did you know polio vaccines are also to blame for new cases of polio? (https://abcnews.go.com/Health/wireStory/polio-cases-now-caus...). Looks like the brainwashing worked just as expected.
