Title: The Ethics of Refusing Vaccination
Post by: Nation of One on March 30, 2021, 07:43:20 pm
Does society (family members, etc) have a right to demand we be vaccinated?

There are those accusing vaccination-refuseniks of behaving like drunk drivers:  Here’s How We Handle People Who Refuse to Get COVID Vaccines (https://www.thedailybeast.com/heres-how-we-handle-people-who-refuse-to-get-covid-vaccines)

A related article ends with this:

In another 10 months, many vaccinated Americans may have a clear answer to what they owe the unvaccinated: absolutely nothing at all.

The vaccinators appear to fancy themselves on the moral high ground.

In the article, Which US demographics are more likely to refuse a COVID-19 vaccine? (https://www.medicalnewstoday.com/articles/which-us-demographics-are-more-likely-to-refuse-a-covid-19-vaccine), I notice that my leanings are in line with "Sets" I myself would not be placed in by those who use statistics to make general (yet false) statements.

According to a Texas A&M-led survey, the groups most likely to reject a COVID-19 vaccine are Black people, women, and those with conservative political leanings.

Nothing that is so, is so.

This is a highly personal decision.  I find it more than a little disturbing that people are propagandizing with Guilt Campaigns or politicizing such a decision.  Will mistrusting the Zookeepers be criminalized?
