If a seatbelt doest stop you from dying in 100% of car crashes, I don't understand why they're mandatory?

Do we ban people from driving if they refuse to wear seatbelts?

…yes? I thought that’s what license penalties are for.

Depending on country, yes?

> However the vaccines don't stop you catching or spreading the virus Vaccines reduce spread. Even if it doesn’t stop spread completely it’s still a significant factor.

you seem to be ignoring the fact that we’ve ended up with 2 variants that are more contagious… with the purpose of implying vaccines are to blame? complete nonsense

In some places, yes (Northern Ireland), otherwise we just repeatedly fine.

A better example would be driving drunk, given that you are at an increased risk of injuring others.

I don't understand, if the vaccines work then why the issue? However the vaccines don't stop you catching or spreading the virus, so why is this banning of the unvaccinated a thing? Very odd.

My understanding is that it’s either, control, money or both. It is not logical public health policy so greed and tyranny are the other possible explanations.

Why is it "not logical" apriori?
