Being against forced vaccinations and passports has nothing to do with denying science.

Why should proof of vaccination be something which you are against?

Because it is a violation of your freedom and privacy.

A business should have the freedom to ask for proof, and people should have the right to refuse it, it works both ways. But any government service or nationalized business should provide their service to anyone regardless of what vaccinations they've had. You have rights as a person, and I don't think they can or should be altered unless you break the law.

How do you feel like you have the "right" to enter any private store or space while putting others at risk of injury or death answer is you dont. You have the right to sit at home and do nothing with your life after this nothing is a given get that straight stfu about your rights if you dont know what they are !

Where did I say you have the right to enter a store? I said the store had the right to make any requirements, and you have the right to refuse them.

You have the right to refuse and stay home were we dont have to deal with you. They do not have to serve you in any way at all you seem to think you can do what you want and that will end very soon.

Who is this "you" you are talking about, I've had my vaccinations. That doesn't mean I believe in a two tier solution.

You can't even get something as simple as a nuanced believe about being against vaccinations and being against forced vaccinations and identification right. Why do you think you're in a position to say anything constructive about handing out special privileges to vast swaths of the population?

This is exactly why I'm against it, not because I hate vaccinations, or because I think it's not effective in dealing with a pandemic, but because by and large people clamor for these things without a level head. They're just sick of everything, they're scared, tired, and then they start applauding the most far reaching measures without understanding the implications.

I wish it were different, and I wish we were not ruled by people who wouldn't take advantage of misery, but we are, so I can't in good conscious see these measures as a good way to deal with the situation.

We're all in agreement on how these things look on the surface, but many people don't perceive it as anything but the surface, and that is problematic.
