You mean, it is unpleasant to fly side by side with people with another ideology? So society have to strip them of their rights to move freely?

If that ideology indicates the person is not interested in decreasing safety risks then I'd kinda prefer them to not sit in the same plane.

> strip them of their rights to move freely?

Is access to airplanes necessary for that right? I don't think so, the existence of a no-fly list wouldn't be consistent with that either.

It is rather impractical to travel extended distances without access to airplanes, seems like an unreasonable burden.

So what was your scientific argument for mandating vaccines against SARS-CoV-2 in the age of the Omicron variant again?

I’m all for vaccines and masks but your ideas on how to deal with dissidence are terrifying.

I just hope in comes from a place of ignorance and heat of the moment.

I think you read much more into this than I wrote, in fact I have no idea what exactly in my comment you find terrifying.

Banning access to airplanes is already being done in cases where the airline decides a passenger isn't worth the trouble, just like a restaurant owner can ban people. Using a no-fly list is too much, and wouldn't do more than that either way.

Anti-vaxxers/Covid deniers have physically assaulted and sometimes even killed bystanders and it's not far-fetched to assume they don't take safety of other community members as seriously. Why would I want to share a plane with such people?

Some extremists that are also supposedly unvaccinated have done that.

Lumping everyone together under one insulting label and then judging them by the worst apples leaves you with a skewed image.

> and it's not far-fetched to assume they don't take safety of other community members as seriously. Why would I want to share a plane with such people?

I would say it is extremely far-fetched. Of the unvaccinated people that I know, nobody is aggressive or violent or would ever engage in behavior that is risking the safety of other passengers.

Punishing them for what some extremists have done is neither fair nor lawful.

> Why would I want to share a plane with such people?

Would you prefer to share your plane with a psychopath who happens to be vaccinated or a lovely person that happens to be unvaccinated?

Not for me, but for some people it seems like this is the case.
