The whole thing is easily explainable: People who walk around spreading COV19 is killing other people. Everyone has a story like that, and it's unfortunate that we have to explain it again and again.

You have free will until you start killing other people over something that you can get for free, that lessens the long-lasting effects of a virus.



> You have free will until you start killing other people over something

You do a lot of things every day that "have a chance of killing people". You get in a car and send thousands of pounds of metal hurdling down the road, you use your cell phone and drive distractedly in that metal block. Or maybe you visit Home Depot and buy a pack of nails and a few of those drop out in a parking lot and a mother in her van with children run over those nails and later have a blowout. You buy an iPhone made in China or a T-shirt made in Vietnam that employs some child laborer who is exposed to harsh chemicals and they die earlier because you personally wanted some product for your enjoyment... and the list is almost infinite.

At what point do we acknowledge our minimal control over the butterfly effect of causality and cease the woke moralizing?


Glad there are sane people in this world still. This SJW trend needs to die. It's cancer to society.


This is such a horseshit argument. If you're at risk, by all means get the vaccine. You're protected. Job done.

"But what about the children?!?!" is the next common refrain. What about them? Look at the numbers. COVID is not a relevant concern for pediatric public health policy.

COVID deaths account for less than 1% of deaths in children under 15. I think the other 99% of things killing our kids is a bigger concern, don't you?
