    We have other tyrannies too:
    seat belts are mandatory
    motorcycle helmets are mandatory
    false advertising is illegal
    driving on the wrong side of the road is punishable
    etc

    Do you typically get involved in mandating people take their medicine?

    I'm sure you can back that up with sources that those unvaccinated into a "killing machine" in which they are more contagious?

    I see little to no difference between people who deny covid is real, or people who claim covid is being fear mongered etc.
    The excess death rate speaks for itself, just as the pictures of corpses being stacked up in refrigerated trucks.


    And that was with all hands on deck, and people in lock down so the spread of the virus was being drastically halted.... unlike a normal flu season. That should hint anybody with half a brain that if we would ignore it all, that it would have been a heck of a lot worse. Hence I care not that anti vaxxers get fired and banned from being allowed in pubs and what not, when all they care about is their narcistic viewpoint of their lives first and expecting the world to solve their problems when hawking hospital beds.

    Nope! Everyone keeps telling me we have lost “freedoms” but no one seems willing to define exactly WHAT “freedoms”

    Mate! Years ago they tied vaccinations to Centrelink payments and guess what was the outcome? 90% vaccination among those relying on those payments. It is a UHC system here - which means my taxes pay for healthcare - why should I pay for someone to be an arse about vaccination during a pandemic?

    To argue against forced vaccination, they typically allude to privacy in the same way that Roe v Wade did. Their body, their choice. People ethically ought to be free to make bad medical decisions for themselves. But their position is incorrect because all rights must be weighed against one another and not getting the vaccine puts others at risk if you interact with others at all. So it makes sense that it is okay to require a vaccine to be in indoor public places or a job where you interact with others face to face.

    Their position seems more understandable when you consider that they have been misinformed to overestimate the risks of vaccination, and underestimate the risks of covid.

    So, you're just going to completely ignore and dodge the question?

    It isn't a vaccine, it's medicine.

    Quit using "tyranny" as a nonsense term for anything you don't like.

    "Tyranny" is an autocratic ruler with unrestricted political power. All of the systems of government in the Western world are composed of different branches of government with limited powers and checks and balances.

    So no, none are "tyrannies" - not liking a law doesn't make it "tyranny" if it was implemented via the governmental process.

    Plus it is a false equivalency since pregnancy isn’t exactly contagious :p
