@hightor,
Hightor, are you confusing vaccines with vaccine mandates?
You and I agree that vaccines are safe and effective and that people should get them. We also agree that illegal drugs are dangerous and that people shouldn't use them.
Our disagreement is about enforcement; whether people should be punished for defying public health policy.
- I accept your point that covid is contagious, and yes that is a valid difference.
- I question your assertion that vaccine mandates will be effective. It is unclear of how many lives
enforcement will save (as compared to a voluntary program that includes some exemptions).
- I don't think you are acknowledging that vaccine mandates come with real social costs, businesses, people and communities (at at least one NFL team) will be hurt by them.
