I’m not an anti-VAXer. I am anti-vax mandate. As I said, you do what is important for you. I respect that.

Yes. I agree. I am against mandates and against anti-vaxers from the standpoint that I believe (and think this nation was founded on and is best served by) everyone should educate on their risk and options. On that basis I would not recommend someone get, or not get the vaccine. I take it upon myself to determine where I go and when, and do not see it as someone who is e.g., shopping next to me, as their responsibility to get vaccinated to 'protect" me; I'm vaccinated and in a vulnerable category, and I am protected; if I feel I need to be extra precautious, IMO, that is up to me. The bullying and closed-mindedness, is not just with the anti-vax crowd, but also those who want to dictate vaccination. Who am I given the documented issues with vaccinations to demand that a healthy person in their 20's get vaccinated? I can't guarantee there will be no issues down the road. I mean if someone is inclined to be strongly invested in vaccines, they can hand out leaflets w/out contact sticking them in doors in their community with maybe more data and basis then the short ads we get in the media? And although it is about individual rights and responsibility; it's not as if I am insensitive or uncaring because I am always looking at perspectives and reasoning based on data and science.
