Throughout history there have been times where leaders and governments have been given the ultimate power of deciding who is more deserving of life and who is less deserving of it. In all the times it was tried it never ended well. I can assure you, you do not want any politician or government deciding your fate. You might think you are on the winning side or what you think is the right side, but what about when you're on what the government or politician deems to be the wrong side? I would never put my trust with the government. |
You know, in Spanish there is an old saying that goes: "Your freedom ends where the freedom of your neighbor begins, and vice versa." That basically means that, in order to coexist with each other, we humans need to sacrifice some of our freedom, otherwise we would just kill one another. We have agreed not to break into each other houses, not to take what the other has bought with their own money, not to sexually posses anyone we are attracted to just because we are stronger, not to drive at a certain speed, not to cross the red light and let the other pass even if that means that we're going to be late for work, etc, etc. There are literally hundreds of things we have agreed NOT to do. So to put it another way, we are not 100% free, we have never been 100% free, and we CANNOT be 100% if we want to coexist with each other. If your actions put the lives of the rest of the group in danger, then you're not a part of said group and should not be allowed into it. Period.
So yes, just like I have agreed to stop at the red light to let you pass, I'm willing to agree that we should all get vaccinated to get through this.
