Not sure where in the world you’re from but I believe in something called freedom of choice! Let me explain. I literally have the tail end of a covid infection right now, barely a cough and a slightly high temperature, had worse hang overs to be honest and I haven’t had the vaccine.

I have a friend at work who is currently on life support because after having his second jab last week he had a very bad reaction and his chest filled with fluid putting pressure on his vital organs. May be related to the vaccine… may not, but you won’t see it in the news I know that much! 😂

I am not anti vaccine… I will probably have it eventually but I would appreciate having the choice rather than being forced into it through fear of poverty 👍🏻

Where does that attitude stop?

Is it OK for someone to get sloppy drunk and drive their car through town at high speed?

It’s a matter of personal choice, as you say.

The problem with your point of view is it doesn’t take into account your impact on people you encounter.

Your freedom of choice cannot infringe on someone else’s freedom of choice.

We have laws to stop people driving into crowds last time I checked. If the people I encounter are so bothered about covid then its their decision to protect themselves with a vaccine.

So should we have law requiring vaccinations? Oh wait, we already DO! You can’t send a child to school without them!

In what country is that law?
