Antivax types are all anti pushing vaccine on to people but if they don’t want to get vaccinated then it still won’t affect vaccinated folks. From my rough understanding, getting vaccinated keeps you alive or get less severe symptoms, but you can still pass it on.

So if antivax people don’t get it, then why not just let them die?

Edit: guys, I’m not antivax, I just don’t understand how herd immunity works.

    I think mandatory vaccines won’t work. Especially in the US.

    …But organizations should be allowed to discriminate against antivaxxers.

    For example, want to fly? The airlines should be allowed (if not mandated) to screen for vaccines in a pandemic, and aggressively kick violators off.

    Restraints want proof? Great. Give them the legal right to discriminate. Perhaps grocery stores should segment certain hours for them.

    Anti vaxxers can either have their cake, or eat it. They don’t get to dictate other people’s lives if they don’t want to be dictated to.
