That has never been how our species or our society works and anyone who thinks otherwise is living in a dreamland.My body my choice! Right?!
Or is that not how it works with the far left when it doesn't suit their agenda? Love how everything was a choice before but now its essentially going to be forced on you.
Just because it is my body, I do not have 'the choice' to go to the cinema totally naked. I do not have 'the choice' to take a shit in the dairy aisle at Tesco. I do not have 'the choice' to attend a golf club and set up a game of rugby with 29 mates. I do not have 'the choice' (in most societies anyway) to walk around the street carrying a gun or a sword.
This libertarian fantasy doesn't exist and it pretty much never has in human history. We are social animals and we live in societies with explicit and implicit expectations of how we acceptably behave in a group setting.
It is totally your right to turn down the vaccine if you so choose, just as it is your right to sit at home naked, take a shit on your kitchen floor or walk around in your bedroom with your samurai sword. But when your decisions potentially start to affect others, then 'your choices' unfortunately start to become a bit more limited and what you can do in our constructed societies may also become rather more limited.
Is that fair? Perhaps not. This isn't really a fair time though.
