> You are not forced to take any vaccine

Can we please just stop? “Take this or lose your job and pension” is not a choice.



I mean, it is because you can look for another job or start your own business if that's the hill you want to die on.

But in general society has rules and we must abide by them if we want to participate. For instance I'm sure most people wouldn't appreciate if I walked around naked, which does not harm anyone unlike needlessly having an increased risk of contracting and/or spreading COVID.

Please stop spreading misinformation. I encourage everyone eligible to get vaccinated, but by your definition vaccinated people are also "walking bioweapons". The main benefit of vaccination is in preventing severe symptoms, not transmission. Since the virus is now endemic we'll all likely get infected eventually regardless of vaccination rates.

hardly disinformation. vaccinated individual are less contagious, tend to clear their system of the virus faster, etc.

are they still potentially vectors? yes. could the virus still potentially mutate? yes.

is the chance of either of those happening greatly reduced? absolutely. so relatively speaking the vaccinated are walking bioweapons in comparison.


> but by your definition vaccinated people are also "walking bioweapons".

Worse than unvaccinated really, since they're less likely to get sick they won't know they're infected and that they should try to stay home.


How disingenuous. It's been proven time and again that those who have been vaccinated can still catch and transmit Covid.
