Should the government make vaccination compulsory?

After the millions of people who have received the vaccines, contracted covid, and NOT died from the virus; versus the millions of people who have NOT received the vaccines, contracted covid, and died from the virus?

Over 30 people, whom I have personally known, have died from covid because they refused the vaccine.

Only 2 people, whom I have personally known, have died from covid because they had pre-existing medical conditions before receiving their vaccines.

Now you do the math.

I seem to think normality will take years and years to come back, I seem to think it'll be like the Great Depression of the 30s which lasted ten years and countries like the US was not fully recovered until the end of World War 2 or the Last Recession which lasted 12 years or more. I don't want to live in a world forever with a fear of uncertainty and all countries turning into police states because of the virus. Before this, there was never all the doom-mongering and when a new flu variant came along.

That's simply a false statement.
The overwhelming majority of people who catch the disease survive. Vaccinated and Not Vaccinated.



If you're not a psychopath, I'm sure that would have been quite traumatic for you.
Nor would the fact that you are, statistically speaking, an extreme outlier be much consolation.

But your personal experience is a very poor basis for formulating a general health policy.
If you are being psychologically affected by the deaths, I would encourage you to seek counselling.

Wrong again!  Check the official global statistics, instead of those imaginary numbers put out by QAnon.I would suggest that you seek out a cardiologist to find out what happened to your missing heart.

They're all busy for mysterious reasons, totally unrelated to the vaccine rollout.

Not wrong, my data source is the Centers for Disease Control.
The NBC rendition is much easier for non-medical people to process but it also contains a link to the cdc source.

Even in the worst affected group, their are 19 people out of every 20, who survive.
The overwhelming number of people who contract the disease, survive.
Also this was before omicron, which so far seems to be a far milder disease.

OK, I'm going to avoid reading this thread being so I got my booster tomorrow, I'm already nervous about it.

You’ll be fine. Better with it than without it.

Boosters are half doses so people tend to have milder reactions.

I like that.

While holidays are a good idea, no one should be forced to take a vcation. It should be up to each persons own free will.

Then how come a few people I know have been ill from the booster? I know one lady who was ill for 3 weeks from having the booster. Surely a vaccine shouldn't make one ill for that long?

Pardon me if this has already been said. Should a government mandate vaccines? Heck no. Vaccines work by preventing people from getting sick from a virus someone else has. So even though you can get the vaccine, if you don’t get it the worst that happens is YOU get sick.

But the proper role of government is to protect its people. So it’s perfectly acceptable to mandate quarantines to prevent the spread of an infectious disease. The difference in principle is subtle but significant.

Meh ... whatever ... I am tired of dealing with people for whom "common sense" has little or no meaning.

Unvaxxed people who die from covid (or smoking, or drinking, or riding a motorcycle without a helmet, or whatever) take themselves out of the gene pool, and improve the human species by raising the overall intelligence of same.
