Many of them are being forced to be vaccinated if they want to keep their jobs, if you haven't heard.

My one and only point ultimately is that our societal, collective response to covid is in no way proportional to the actual risk it poses to most people. We will seemingly suffer any amount of economic collapse, the closure of small businesses, the general mental health of the populace, to avoid getting a disease that barely kills anybody it infects. There are vulnerable demographics, yes, and they should be vaccinated. It makes sense for them. Forcing five year olds to get vaccinated to go to school, when you *can still get and spread covid* if you're vaccinated, is insane hypochondria. It's not science. The people who keep saying "follow the science" are being precisely anti-scientific.
You have a strange definition of forced.

Idk fits mine. You can't go to school unless you're vaccinated. You can't have a job. You can't get on public transport. You can't leave your house. You have to send your geoloc to authorities within a short time or they come. All these things are happening right now in democratic-sounding countries.

I guess your definition of forced is on the extreme side of the spectrum and not in common use. I'm guessing anything short of men with guns dragging you somewhere is not really forced. I mean it's your choice to have your uneducated children eat you because you can't work or go to the store and those little bastards are hungry.

The word you're looking for is coerced. [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

You are coerced into doing those things!

Let's be real here, you probably weren't going to leave your house or get a job anytime soon.
