And by evidence I mean that the harm potential for at risk ppl when we don’t force vaccinate vs the harm potential to those injured by vaccine when we do. Not a trade off we should squander rights for too eagerly.

Different yes, but the logic that enables us to force potential bodily harm on someone in one case will enable it in the other. Just as the seatbelt analogy enables us to extend that to disease. Removing individual liberty for safety even when evidence is not clear seems a mistake in my view

Do we force vaccinate against rabies? Some die of flu. Should we force vaccinate against flu? Some of heart disease. Should we ban mothers from cooking with butter or force exercise programs into households? Are there no risks to the vaccinated that would warrant them making their own choice?

It’s also curious that we assume one person not getting vaccinated necessarily results in multiple others dying. Is this borne out in data?

Do you accept that vaccines have risks? And that some are more susceptible to those risks than others? Where should the decision be if not with the individual who bears the risk?

The same argument anti abortion advocates make.

Wait. Are they forcing Americans to house and feed ICE agents?

Thanks for sharing. I still can’t get past the idea of overriding bodily autonomy, but appreciate the conversation

So if 100% vaccinate, 3% will still be susceptible?

I’m convinced neither side wants them released and they use each other as the scapegoat depending on who’s in office.

Might I recommend a return of power to the people? Conventionofstates.com

But if the vaccines work, what is the threat? I honestly don’t understand this argument.

The govt is the root of much of the problem in healthcare. Please acknowledge this as the reality

majormit.bsky.social @majormit.bsky.social · 1d

Only true if we were prevented from all sources of sustenance except from the state. A scary world to imagine. Meanwhile let’s help each other through private action where the need exists

Holy moly I just realized the ballroom is in preparation for the anniversary. Makes a lot more sense now. Seemed so random before.

Has anyone tried Crowdhealth or other insurance alternatives? I wonder if there are free market solutions even in this regulatory hellscape.

Mine’s a republic. With way too big and intrusive a federal govt. but freer than most luckily. For now

Wars and policy rarely have the intended outcome. And always cost more than planned.

Hits different when you see the left side as the state and the right side as the individual

We should ask why the subsidies are necessary. I think they artificially inflated the cost of healthcare.

majormit.bsky.social @majormit.bsky.social · 2d

I think it’s not public money being used. Still rooting for the good baseboard.
