A 3% chance that a bridge might fail would have me finding a different way around.

A 3% chance of winning the lottery is something I would run towards; a 3% chance of being hospitalized and possibly dying is something I would run away from.
But it is only a very small fraction of the 3% that are vaccinated so why should I have to wear a mask and bow to your non-science based desires? Let those that are at risk from me, as someone who has followed all the rules and desires of the politicians, protect themselves. I've done my job, I refuse to do yours.
