Everything you're spouting is smoke and mirrors for you to exercise innate selfishness and disregard for our society. You're okay, so fuck everyone else, it's on them and their decisions.I didn’t say we have one. I made the point that IMO this acceptance of authority combined with the now very clear evidence of fear based division as apposed to fear of a virus and belief in a vaccine- divide and rule - means we’re on the slippery slope of acceptance of one... well, many people are!
I've been vaccinated and boosted, not because I believe it's necessarily the long term or final solution to eradicating the virus but because it's the best option we've got right now, and it makes the virus less of a risk to me, my family, my friends, my community and to our health and support systems. Of course any potential long term effects can't be known yet because they've only existed for a short period of time. But the understanding to this point and benefits of the short to medium term make it entirely worthwhile in my opinion.
Same thing with wearing masks. Of course they're not massively effective but if they make things even a tiny amount less risky for you and those around you, why wouldn't you want to wear one?
I truly, truly hope you don't find yourself in a position of your health being badly effected by the virus - but if you do would you expect the NHS or other public systems to help you? Or would you be okay with them telling you it was your decision not to accept the preventative options they made available to you, so it's on you and you need to look after yourself?
