Well, I said a lot of things. But if you think the pandemic isn’t dangerous, then you are wrong, and you are correct that there is no discussion to be had. Similarly, if you think the vaccine is dangerous, then you are wrong, and you are correct that there is no discussion to be had.
The Earth is an oblate spheroid orbiting another (very slightly) oblate spheroid, Smallpox was eliminated by a vaccine and not by prayer, Covid is dangerous, and the vaccines are safe. Anybody who disagrees with me about any of these points is simply incorrect as a matter of fact. Not really “me” of course, just with the established scientific consensus.
Rights aren’t a matter of fact, but there are frameworks that have been developed for discussing them, and the idea that those of us who have protected ourselves against something dangerous by doing something safe should stay home is abhorrent. Instead, those of us who refuse to protect themselves against something dangerous because they think the protection is dangerous can stay home. I have the right not to be endangered by somebody who refuses to take the vaccine.
