Just to ponder.

I wonder how many vaxed drivers have stupidly or mistakenly crashed and killed unvaxed drivers?

Good thing countrywide/worldwide transportation lockdowns will be put into effect though right? Too bad the unvaxed drivers weren't vaxed right?

This is the problem.

What if the unvaxed drivers weren't wearing their seatbelt though? Do we still lockdown or do we just call them idiots and move on?

What if the unvaxed driver got ejected into the vaxed drivers vehicle, killing both?

Shut the roadways down? Forced seatbelts somehow? Some drivers in crashes who can't get out due to belt issues and die because of it?

People die everyday for so many different reasons and most people are accustomed to it. Only so much can be done to stop death in general, and people will only go so far to stop it individually. That's 8 billion different people at that. Diversity can be a great strength but also a great weakness.

The right answer is that unfortunately there is no right answer. Just a choice between more freedom or more safety overall.

That comparison makes no sense. A road accident injures/kills only the people involved. Stupidity with a virus has a snowball effect.

For example, look at Australia. They had it contained, yet some people working in the quarantine hotel couldn't keep it in their pants, and let it escape. The wave that caused in July 2020 ended up killing 800 people before it was all under control again.

Yep, apples and oranges. Maybe once these idiots ('cuz that's what I'm gonna call these anti-vax nutjobs) stop spreading a deadly disease around and infecting others with their stupidity, we'll consider letting them drive without their seatbelt. In the meantime:

 

And what's funny is, there's an anti-mask/anti-vax restaurant in California (Basilico's) enforcing their lunacy by forcing anyone to enter to show proof of being unvaccinated and NOT to wear masks. On their Facebook page, they have a ton of posts calling pro-mask/vaxxers anti-freedom tyrants who want to suppress freedom with mask mandates and lockdowns. And the even funnier thing? If anyone's gonna force us into further lockdowns, it's them and everyone who "thinks" like they do.
