For the people who have been out there all along during this pandemic, keeping things running and making it possible for the more vulnerable to stay safe, I think it's only fair to let those workers decide for themselves whether or not to get the vaccine.
What about those millions of people who have not developed natural immunity (aka not having had Covid already)? Those are the folks who need to be vaccinated. Why risk having a bad outcome from having the disease? Why risk being asymptomatic and STILL developing unbearable long haul Covid side effects? The idea of SAFE herd immunity is what is needed to fight this invisible enemy.

Thank goodness there were enough people willing to be vaccinated against Small Pox so herd immunity was reached and the disease was eradicated. Thank goodness there were enough people willing to be vaccinated against polio so herd immunity was reached and eradicated the disease. Our society has become a society of _______________ You fill in the blank.
