[ UK ] Anti-vaxxer 'Army' threatens vaccine centres.

A person could theoretically argue that a foetus is a life and is thus murdered when aborted. I do not subscribe to that viewpoint personally, but it is a viewpoint that exists and it is true that there can be no arbitrary line drawn to describe what is alive, in that particular scenario.

In China, no-one has to wear a motorcycle helmet & that is an authoritarian state overall. Things are muddied and unexpected laws exist everywhere in the world. Everything is relative to everyone, essentially.

Personally, I find Cultural Conservatism & Socialism to be a palatable societal structure, in its most elemental literary form.

A woman's fetus isn't going to get aborted by standing next to another woman who's just had an abortion, but if the second woman had contracted Covid after refusing to get a vaccination or wear a mask, that's a whole different story. Therein is the difference.

The example fails, however, in that the attacks aren't against a mandate but, instead, the attacks directly harm those exercising or attempting to exercise their choice to get the vaccine. In my eyes, it is more comparable to attacking pregnant mothers for choosing to carry their children than it is to making abortion illegal.

Here in the US, mandates have been a response to low voluntary vaccination rates, not the other way around. Not sure the order in the UK. The more people who voluntarily get vaccinated, the easier it becomes to stick with a choice to not get vaccinated. When viewed through that lens, attacking those choosing to get vaccinated is highly counterproductive.

The reality is people are simply wound tight and latching on to fake causes and false beliefs because they need an excuse to rage. We're living in a tinder box of a world right now. Applying logic doesn't really work and the problem exists to varying degrees on all sides of most equations.
