First off, We live in a society not a free for all dystopia. Second, that poster could be one of the 7 million people in America with immune issues or one of the probably 10x that cares about one of their friends or fsmily who has those health issues, but even if not, people being vaccinated helps keep health care costs down for all and could save the posters life if they got in a car accident tomorrow the local ER may already be overwhelmed due to the unvaxxed.

So anyway, thanks for that meaningful addition to the comments.

Well, looking at the past two years, I'm not so sure about that. Locking up the whole world in their apartments, fining people for being on the street, locking up playgrounds, banning outside exercise or limiting your "outside" time to 1 hour or allowing you to go no further than 1-3 miles from your home sounds pretty dystopian to me. My mom died of cancer after being ignored for 1 and a half year (in the EU she couldn't get a CT scan for 6 months because the hospital staff didn't want to disinfect the machine after each use) and I was able to see her only in the last 2 weeks of her life after being forced to stay in quarantine for 10 days, even if I had negative PCR tests before travelling, so yeah, let's all pretend we care about people and health, and not about people like you feeling superior and better than everyone else.
