Yes yes yes yes! We get our freedoms back by vaccinating. End of story.
And I appreciate the emotion and passion with which you expressed this. I’m feeling similarly. This isn’t some academic argument; really there isn’t an academic argument about the basic “almost everybody should get vaccinated” point, only around details like exactly how good various vaccines are and just exactly how much benefit different types of masks provide. We can’t require people not to believe stupid things, but we do have the right to move on, including if that means excluding anti-vaxxers from regular events.
I feel that I’ve probably already posted this before (and indeed did post it elsewhere just recently), but it’s still just as good:

PSA #2: Also on that same topic, it might be a good idea to buy stock from Pfizer, as they make that little blue ED pill that anti-vaxxer men will need to buy going forward.
