Source? Who claimed this?

> If you do not get the vaccine, "the science" crowd will label you as a morally bad person.

This has nothing to do with the "science" crowd. The vaccine reduces the spread of infection. Infection causes harm. Taking the vaccine reduces the statistical probability of you spreading infection to others, and others suffering the consequences of infection. That's a moral issue.

Natural immunity also reduces the spread of infection. The fact that we don't account for the natural immunity of those who have already been infected means that we are not following science but political dogma.

Where did I claim otherwise? Are you just assuming I think the same things that "everyone" thinks?
