im vaccinated and i would really prefer everyone choose to be vaccinated but i dont spend time talking about this for a few reasons. this first is that i dont actually think it would have the desired effect if i just yelled at people about it. relatedly this feels tendentious.

if your position is "having everyone vaccinated is incredibly important, so much so (for various reasons) that we should accept the very real and serious short- and long-term civil costs of coercing people to get a vaccine" i actually respect that thought i dont necessarily agree

tbh, I'm all out of fucks to give. at this point the anti maskers and anti vaxxers are fucking up my life, my families lives, my friends lives and the future economy. why wouldn't I do everything to stop that? I had to get vaccinated to go to school, what's different now?
