There are still mandates. Plenty of people not permitted back to work, and some workplaces are imposing booster mandates. Just because you are subject to them, doesn't mean other people are not. Maybe you should start standing up for people's rights? Or maybe supporting medical fascism is easier when it doesn't affect you? I mean....
First they came for the Anti-vaxxers
And I did not speak out
Because I was not a Anti-vaxxer
Then they came for the Truckers
And I did not speak out
Because I was not a Trucker
Then they came for the Conservatives
And I did not speak out
Because I was not a Conservative
Then they came for me
And there was no one left
To speak out for me
You stand up for people's rights? Are you going to stand up for Indigenous land claims? Police brutality against visible minorities? No. You only stand up for those who share your ideals.
The decision to remain unvaccinated is a personal choice, unlike the situations I've just mentioned. You seem to feel that unvaccinated people should not be responsible for the consequences of their choices. They are free to have a different risk assessment, but they also know the consequences of their decisions.
Unless personal responsibility is just for people you disagree with.
I remember back in the early days of COVID. People like you claimed that we shouldn't let the personal choices of the fat, unhealthy immunocompromised people affect our freedom. Nevermind the fact that many people were immunocompromised because of health outcomes beyond their control.
No, the anti-mandate crowd said the immunocompromised need to take
personal responsibility for their choices, so the rest of us can be "free". I merely apply the same logic to the unvaccinated. If you have a valid medical reason, get an exemption. Otherwise, take responsibility for your choices.
You can't have it both ways
