    Here in the UK, during the first lockdown, social distancing and the like was adhered to do quite well. More so than the scientists and government expected. Mainly because it was simple instruction that didn’t stop you from going about your business when you needed to get your groceries.

    And it’s not like anyone was forced

    No, they were just told they couldn’t participate in society. But then when they realised that the messaging wasn’t working, they gave up on it.

      No, they were just told they couldn’t participate in society.

      Yes, when you pose a greater risk to society you do not get to participate in it. This has been true since the start of societies.

          no, the only people forcing anyone to do anything are the anti vaxxers who want to force everyone to be around them.

        Do the vaccines work or not?

        Because if they do, the unvaccinated are not a threat to you.

          They are a threat to the ones incapable of getting vaccinated because of allergies, though.

          I just don’t want them in society. If they’re unwilling to take the vaccine they probably also don’t wash their hands after using the bathroom.

            So your view is based purely on prejudice, rather than on fact?

            Interesting parallel to an anti-vaxxer who refuses vaccines based on misinformation, rather than fact.

              Yeah, not getting the vaccine is like not returning your shopping cart. It tells me everything I need to know about a person.
