      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

      your read may differ, but he seems to be downright /eager/ to use coercive means to attain a public health end, and specifically trying to do some kind of internet-tough guy-but-bureaucratic-for-some-reason framing to attack people who disagree with him

      as someone who cares about public health but is also wary of coercion as a tool this makes me less inclined to ever support coercive means for public health ends, because it reminds me that people like him will be the ones designing and executing the coercive policies from DC

      I want to reemphasize that I am vaccinated and wish other people would be vaccinated. Supporting pushes for vaccines is something that it should be easy to get me behind.

      So it is especially frustrating that expressions like the one in the screencap exist because I think they make it /less/ likely that people who are reluctant to get a vaccine will actually do so, if for no other reason than to spite people who clearly hate them and wish them ill

      rulers in a democracy cannot afford to be openly contemptuous of the people they govern, and even aside from that this kind of attitude is indecent and inhumane and I really wish people quite generally would stop burning down the country to own their outgroup

      A couple notes here: I’m not designing and implementing a policy in DC; I’m a PhD student in Montréal. And that tweet was tweeted in April 2020 about how to achieve suppression, not how to coerce vaccination. Finally, that’s not even close to my most coercive take.

      fair enough! would you like me to append your rebuttal to the end of the thread?

      I mean I think you should just delete the tweet since you seem to think it’s about vaccines and it was tweeted about a totally different question before vaccines were even available.

          No, I can’t. But I do think when you lie you should delete it.

          i was glad to acknowledge downthread that I was wrong about the context in which you posted the tweet, but its incorrect to construe this as a lie; being wrong and lying are entirely different things
