Vaccinations decrease the chance you’ll take valuable hospital space from someone who isn’t there for covid. That’s the real issue. Anyways, maybe you’ll eventually get the picture and get vaccinated, maybe not, but eventually you will be a pariah in the community and I certainly won’t be there to defend your idea of freedom.

Sober drivers kill people too, not just drunk drivers - yet we have no problem prohibiting driving drunk.

But even that analogy breaks down because it’s been 1 year of vaccine’s existing, and in most places much less than 6 months of vaccine-only rules. This is a health crisis. Nobody wants or intends this to be forever. It’s like crying injustice because of a temporary ban on drunk driving.

We know vaccine doesn't stop you from getting infected, we know vaccine doesn't stop you from spreading the virus.

This is absolutist nonsense. It takes the truth and makes it imply something false.

Vaccines make you less likely to become infected, and decrease viral load if you do get infected. So, even if you do become infected, the infection is milder and you are less likely to pass it on. In all these ways, (less likely to catch, milder infection, less likely to transmit) they provide protection to you and those around you.

>Vaccines make you less likely to become infected

complete nonsense based on some small studies while real world data contradict this, vaccinated makes same or higher proportion of infected than it's actual vaccination rate in many countries

same with viral load especially now with Omicron

vaccines were sold as effective against infection and transmission, them narrative moved to effective against mild symptoms, them narrative moved to effective against serious symptoms

but I understand you I would have also buyer's remorse if I fell for this, trying to make everyone make same mistake add you did doesn't change a thing though

Vaccines reduce the spread of disease, full stop.

You should get vaccinated and stop thinking you know better than people who are better tha you.
