I. Don’t. Care.
If you get the vaccine I hope it works out well. I assume you know best.
If you don’t get the vaccine I hope it works out well. I assume you know best.
It’s not my job to boss other people around. Adults make their own choices. If you can’t or don’t make your own choices, you’re not an adult.
The vaccine conundrum is a tough decision. One is stuck balancing the low and not entirely clear risk of a new vaccine against the also low and not entirely clear risk of a new pathogen. Your age, lifestyle, risk tolerance, and physical fitness all affect how well various options will work for you. I like to think of people as somewhat rational. I hope you made an intelligent reasoned decision that’s right for you.
Or maybe you’re not rational at all. Maybe you flipped a coin. Maybe you got emotional and did what your emotions said. Maybe the man on TV had you convinced you’d be dead by Tuesday without the shot. Maybe you refused the shot because the Orange Menace supported developing it. Maybe you insisted on the shot because the current Potato in Chief said it’s your duty. Maybe you got pissed off and refused because you’re angry at everyone constantly bitching at you. Maybe you got the shot because everyone’s constant bitching wore you down. Maybe you’re a homeless crackhead and have bigger problems in your life. Maybe they gave you a free taco for getting the shot. Maybe you don’t like tacos. Maybe you won’t go near the shot because of deep seated suspicions. Maybe you got the shot because you’re terrified you’ll make your cat sick. Maybe you refused the shot because that’s how space aliens will make your balls implode.
Rational or not, no matter what you did… it’s completely not my problem.
I’m happy it’s not my problem. It’s hard enough for me to take care of me.
I want nothing to do with other people’s medical choices. More importantly, I want to keep it that way. I don’t want that responsibility. I don’t want that burden. I especially don’t want that power.
Controlling other people’s medical choices is massive, soul crushing, unavoidably corrupting, raw, horrific power. It’s a one way ticket to damnation! I wouldn’t touch it with a ten foot pole.
Regardless of intention, forcing others to submit to your will is… evil. Anyone who does so is… evil. It’s evil simply in the act. You cannot subjugate another person without becoming evil. If you force someone to submit to your choices, they are a victim and you are the perpetrator. Subjugating others is morally repugnant. No excuses. No exceptions. I won’t be evil.
Luckily, you’re an adult and it’s not my problem. I hope you made your choice for your reasons. Good luck.
You’re welcome.
