Missed the point entirely. This is about authorities controlling everything in your life. Happy reading.

I didn’t miss the point, he and his wife are just being needlessly stubborn. This isn’t a cause worth sacrificing the safety of your wife and kids for. Regulations exist for a reason. You don’t just get to say “hey I’m going to not vaccinate my kids for polio because I don’t feel like it”. How is this any different?

So the government putting artificial restrictions because of a virus that mostly kills very old people or people with at least 3-4 morbidities is "not a cause worth" it? The day something slightly more dangerous comes around, you can say goodbye to all your freedoms because you did not push back this time around. This creates precedents.

> polio

I love stupid analogies like that, as if an mRNA vaccine was just the same type of vaccine as a polio vaccine. Btw did you know polio vaccines are also to blame for new cases of polio? (https://abcnews.go.com/Health/wireStory/polio-cases-now-caus...). Looks like the brainwashing worked just as expected.

Plenty of people do this, it's pretty easy to get an exemption for most things like that. My parents did it just fine.

And the only reason you didn’t have a chance of getting polio is many other parents didn’t.

I have heard that authorities also plan to impose taxes(stealing our money), driving passes, border entry passes as per their whims and fancies. Shocking what the future holds.
