You know what's gross? Wanna force people to inject something in their bodies they don't want. The only problem with that is that most antivaxxers are antimask also. If they respected other peoples rights to not catch the virus it would be easier to respect their position. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sure it’s very contagious and it can be deadly… but the majority of people have survived Covid. My condolences go to anyone who has had people close to them die. Also, WHO classes obesity as an epidemic. Definitely a public health issue. once again, obesity is not a highly contagious virus. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stop equating the right to abortion as healthcare with refusing a life-saving vaccine. It's incredibly disrespectful to co-opt "pro-choice" and "my body my choice" regarding vaccines. You are watering down decades of activism for women's rights. And stop equating hospital care for unvaxxed covid patients to cancer or any other health condition. Until there's a hugely effective vaccine for those things, it's not the same. Nobody here is alluding to that comparison. Evangeline Lilly herself that making that comparison. And by doing so also outing herself that she is a Pro Choice on abortion issues. It's on OP. (ﾉ◕ヮ◕)ﾉ✧*:･ﾟ dancin' until i'm dead (*´艸｀*) ♡♡♡ Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The OP does not make this comparison, but several people commenting continue calling themselves "pro-choice" specifically regarding the vaccine and invoking "my body my choice" in arguments against mandates, so they are inherently making that comparison.

ARTPOP 3,096 Posted January 30, 2022 Share Posted January 30, 2022 I will not quote anyone, but "my body my choice" regards to vaccines is giving off "All Lives matter" energy. If it´s your choice to put the community you live in danger, it is also community´s choice to isolate and not allow individuals that are danger to public health live in it. COME ON GAYS!!

Wet Fire 7,583 Posted January 30, 2022 Share Posted January 30, 2022 My body my choice doesn't work when you your choice makes your body a medium of infection spread and kills 2 other people. It works if you live alone on a faraway island or inside a castle because covid is still ongoing No saying, no logic is universally accurate. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is no "enlightened liberal centrist position" on this issue. You are supporting an ideology that bastardizes freedom, erodes community support and solidarity and promotes social darwinism. If anti-vaxxers are "entitled" to their choice, the vaxxed and SPECIFICALLY the healthcare system should be entitled to refuse any sort of service to the unvaxxed. Because it's THEIR body being put in danger by having to interact with potentially hypercontagious f*ckwits that still could get seriously them sick, because these unvaccinated hogs artificially enlongated a pandemic and gave the virus enough time to mutate to circumvent the initial vaccines available. Comparing this irrational selfishness, and bloodthirsty need to wreck havoc on other people to... being "pro-choice" is in bad taste. That level of reactionary thinking is only one step away from anti-vaxxers calling any sort of mild covid restrictions the new Holocaust. 6 hours ago, Healed My Heart said: The responses in this thread are gross.
