The COVID-19 pandemic

And in the end, if you and I or others are vaccinated, what are we fearing exactly?

I’m surprised to see a smart person like you saying something so dumb.

As everybody should know by now, some people cannot be vaccinated, and as you yourself point out, the vaccine is not 100% effective at preventing infection. So what we’re fearing is that we could catch the disease from some jackass who isn’t vaccinated yet (and maybe isn’t wearing a mask either) and pass it along to somebody in our household who cannot be vaccinated. That’s what we fear.

And we have a right, as a society, to mitigate that by keeping those who are unvaccinated by choice away from the rest of us.

I also fear having some medical emergency and not being able to get an ambulance or a bed in a hospital. You know, because those things are happening right now. Or needing some medical procedure and not being able to get it.

And frankly, I have a little bit of fear of the civil unrest that may result from an increasingly insane world, where sociopaths who knowingly and intentionally endangered their community are pandered to by our politicians (both north and south of the border).
