Pressure those who choose to go unvaccinated for misguided "personal freedom" reasons to reconsider their choices.

How's that been working out so far?

At some point life returns to normal.

The article explains why a vaccination is not a long term guarantee you will not get and or spread this new flu.

"It's not a perfect solution so we might as well do nothing instead!"

Come on. Getting vaccinated has more than enough utility for you and for others to make it a good choice on either principle alone.

Wearing a helmet on an airplane isn’t a perfect solution to airplanes crashing but it could potentially save your life, but we seem fine with the risk trade off of not wearing one. No decisions we make about responding to COVID will be risk free, the question is which trade offs we should accept. No matter how much pressure is put on the unvaccinated some people will refuse to get it, and unless you’re suggesting administering it by force eventually that tactic will meet diminishing returns.

You picked the wrong example. Helmets will do very little to reduce fatalities from air travel simply because the mechanics of how those fatalities occure.

Wearing a helmet while driving a car, however, has a pretty good chance of reduxing injuries and fatalities (probably even better than wearing a helmet when riding a bike on a seperated bike path.)

I don't think this is really a question of people analyzing the trade-offs. This how to do with how the risks and the activity are percieved, people are generally really at accurately assessing such risks.

Yes, and parachutes do not prevent airplanes from crashing.

Brushing your teeth doesnt guarantee you will have no cavities.

Radiation doesnt guarantee you will be cancer free.

At no point did the vaccine promise full immunity.

The article also explains about the significant risk reduction for getting & passing it on, so I think the point still stands.

Have ICU beds ready to accommodate them and not have them filled with unneccesary cases from unvaccinated individuals that have chosen freely to be unvaccinated.

But in my callousness I would simply illegalize treating people that are anti-vaccine.

Is any country with high vaccination numbers struggling for ICU beds at the minute?

What about not treating lung cancer in smokers? Or diabetes in morbidly obese?
