Everyone has their own opinions. In my mind, it's not a 'small risk'.

This has nothing to do with other countries - I'm talking about Canada not allowing ANYONE (with very few exemptions) from leaving the country on flights, boats, trains. I wouldn't be going to other countries that don't want the 'unvaccinated'.

I don't blame you for being brainwashed by your own government into thinking one side is evil. All you have to do is listen to all the false news from the media outlets, and you'll be indoctrinated day after day. All governments and the media are doing is pinning people against each other, nothing more.

We should be able to have mature conversations without being attacked for a differing opinion.

Please don't take HN threads further into flamewar, regardless of how right you are or feel you are on a topic. It just makes things worse.

Just flag or delete the thread then. The parent commenter didn't say anything egregious or explicit, they were just correctly pointing out that countries have perfectly legitimate reasons for not wanting unvaccinated visitors traveling through them. If we aren't allowed to disagree with OP in the slightest, then what's the point of keeping the thread around?

The GP comment was aggressive and name-calling on an inflammatory topic. That's way over the line, not "the slightest".

Of course people have strong emotions about these things. That's natural, and the site guidelines are also very clear. For example: "Comments should get more thoughtful and substantive, not less, as a topic gets more divisive."
