That is absolutely not the same thing. If I don't fly on a plane, the worst thing that happens is the company doesn't get my money. If I don't take a vaccine the worst thing that could happen becomes a potential loss of vital senses or even death(s).

Your ending statement could hardly be further from the truth. There's no evidence that these groups of people are related.

There are people that state they'd rather drive than fly on a Max.

The worst that can happen is a statistically much higher likelihood of dying. On the other hand, if you don't take the vaccine, the worst that happens is Pfizer doesn't get your money.

Also, y'know, the whole increased risk of serious illness due to a lack of immune protection that would be granted by the vaccine.
