Fair enough. And while don't agree with everything there, I can agree with a fair amount. Such as all of the right to choose and express consent related matters. Where this whole thing bothers me is that when COVID first hit, it was immediately politicized as soon as the source was noted. Once the bullshit around that spread and it devolved in a matter of days it was a nightmare.

I personally have not been vaccinated, despite having an autoimmune disease. Having mention that, I feel obligated to state the fact that, outside of any "long haul" patients or long-term side effects on otherwise healthy individuals, it's not outright killing people. It's affecting those who are unfortunate enough to have pre-existing conditions and the people who do fall into that category, are dying at an accelerated rate with the co-infection.

Example: you've been diagnosed with a disease that will inevitably be the cause of your demise (pre-COVID-19's existence) and your prognosis is five years. You take have to absorb that information and accept the fact that you've only got a handful of years left and you need to make them count. Six months later, the pandemic begins and shortly thereafter you contract COVID. If you're in that susceptible group, it will most likely have you on a ventilator pretty soon, and your prognosis likely will have gone from another 4-4.5 years, down to maybe six months at best? And that would be a lousy way to go.

I don't have an essential job, I'm actually waiting on disability myself (due to my disease), so I don't see drastic urgency in myself, personally. That, and literally haven't left this house the entire month of April. I just view the the mask and vaccine as what you would want someone else to do in order to protect your grandparents or parents.

While I understand the body autonomy aspect, consent, right to choose, freedom of speech—I'm running out of them lol, whatever else there may be—I guess I'm missing the part where, from the perspective I have just provided; what is stopping others from choosing to get vaccinated?

No arguments intended, and no offense intended, again, but you actually seem like you're capable of having a rational conversation.

This maybe is a random question, it's definitely off-topic, but (I'm pretty sure) the typically feminist stance is pro-choice(?) This is just for curiosity.
