    What authoritarian state? No one has been required to get the vaccine. People just call you an idiot for not doing so.

      No, you were not required to. But you were also excluded from a lot of life if you didn’t. And a lot of people were foaming at the mouth and very much desirous of an outright requirement.

        But you said

        I prever not to live under an authoritarian state.

        So what authoritarian state? Being “excluded from a lot of life” is not an authoritarian state if it was just a result of people deciding not to be around you if you made the choice to be a health risk.

        Or is this like a child screaming “YOU CAN’T TELL ME WHAT TO DO!!!” Just because they can?

        You’re likewise excluded from a lot of you permanently walk around drunk. Still your own problem.

        I didn’t want to have to sit next to someone infected with infectious disease when on an airplane.

        Don’t blame the government, they were just implementing policies I wanted to protect me from people that had a higher probability of being a disease carrier because they get their medical advice from the internet.
