The public health of who exactly? The people who have refused to or chosen not to get vaccinated?

It’s like a seatbelt. You can require that everyone have access to one but you can’t require that everyone use one.



What?

Seatbelt laws exist, in many places in the US if a cop sees you driving without your seatbelt on you are getting pulled over and getting a hefty fine.


Except not getting vaccinated harms others. Yes, they're mostly harming themselves, but some people aren't able to be vaccinated, and a few vaccinated people have still been hospitalized from covid complications.


No, it doesn’t.


Tell that to the vaccinated people who have still died of covid due to spread from the unvaccinated.


People have literally died from not being able to receive treatment from their diseases because hospitals were filled with COVID patients who didn't take the vaccine when offered.
