Vaccines are being mandated because if you're dealing with the public without them, you're more likely to hurt people (and yourself).

Drunk driving laws aren't a conspiracy by Big Taxi.



The science is not at all clear on this. Tests are being administered at very different rates to the vaccinated and unvaccinated. Transmission rates have never been compared in a properly controlled environment. Many very highly vaccinated states and countries are seeing far higher rates of spread than this time last year before there were any vaccines.


The science is extremely clear. 99% of people now dying of COVID are unvaccinated. Even if the vaccine isn't as effective as hoped against preventing infection, it's wildly effective at reducing severity.


> 99% of people now dying of COVID are unvaccinated.

Flat out wrong. Even when they were saying this earlier in the year before the Delta surge really took off, they had to count from the beginning of the Covid outbreak to get this number.
