We should be celebrating science, the discovery and advancement of vaccines, and their ability to give immunity or strong protection against diseases that have previously debilitated individuals or worse.
The fact that I have never known anyone with Polio is because of the strong global efforts to irradiate the disease from the face of the planet. Tragically the anti-science and anti-vaccine messaging has made that not possible for covid... something that's already resulted in near equal death of WWII in just over a year and will only continue.
Are you saying that every covid vaccine has 100 % efficacy? ("everyone", "a vaccine"). AFAIK this is not true for any extant vaccine.
One specific thing I do find freeing about the vaccines is that I don't really need to worry about being asymptomatically infected and passing the disease onto others who are more vulnerable. I guess I could simply say "fuck those people", as many have done, but I guess for me, responsibility is a counterpart to freedom.
FWIW, Stephen Ilardi appears to support vaccination, so you may want to dig a little deeper into his thoughts around them.
Meanwhile those who do choose to take it will hopefully be able to live a life largely free of these annoyances and dangers.
You do not have to feel that you cannot live without pharmaceuticals. The value of a tetanus shot is obvious, but it can be something you choose, not something which you are burdened to bear as the price of birth. Depressive disorders are wholly a disease of our malignant society. I would encourage you to examine the work of Stephen Ildari, for it has helped me greatly. I encourage you to see what happens to you and your gf when you eat plants instead of processed <product>.
You can be more than a tax cattle, or someone else's paycheck, or the reflection of the vision and will of powerful strangers. You are still very young. Take control of who and what you are.
