I agree. Clothing is far more expensive, requires a non-trivial amount of time, money, and energy to maintain, and really doesn't provide much benefit to those around you once you've achieved the bare minimum of covering your butthole so you don't smear poop residue on whatever you sit on. By contrast, vaccines are very cheap (if you have to pay for them at all), require pretty much no further action or upkeep beyond a day or two of side effects, and reduces the risk of getting other people sick or even killing them. Needing to wear clothing is obviously way worse than needing to get vaccinated. They're not even comparable.

I can't necessarily speak for everyone else, but I'm pretty neutral on being told what to do. Sometimes it's helpful, sometimes it's harmful, sometimes it's redundant... Given that I'm not a rebellious teenager, I don't define my personal identity on a basis of rejecting authority.

In this particular case, I got the shot long before any sort of mandates were even being considered, so it makes absolutely no difference to me that they're telling me to get vaccinated. I am, however, glad that they're telling all the people who were too stupid to make the right decision on their own what to do, since apparently that's necessary.

Fortunately, that's not really something anyone actually ever needs to do. If you end up with an adverse reaction (which is quite rare), that's generally easy enough to address by applying additional treatments, with no need to un-inject anything.

Try to keep up.

You actually equated an injection to clothing and think it's a good point. WTF man. And this insane idea that there's only once choice in all of this is simply wrong. That people cant disagree with you and have it be tolerated. No. If it's not what you believe it's wrong and needs to be stopped. Ill stand by this, it's a personal choice what someone does to their body. Any system or person who thinks that choice does not belong to the individual is wrong.
