I noticed there was no #3 in your list: there's no reason to be mean if you're trying to have a genuine discussion. You could actually just stop with "there's no reason to be mean" -- what purpose does that serve? (Trying to hurt others?)

I (another third party) still don't know what you're trying to say. It seems like you are equating "private citizen physicians not accepting patients who refuse to follow medical advice with respect to vaccinations" with "the government is deporting people with different opinions on the Israel/Palestine conflict"? Or generally equating "public health" with "differing opinions"?

I absolutely think they are different. Measles is back now in the US and puts everyone at risk of physical harm, because people have chosen to not get vaccinated without good reason. I don't think that is remotely comparable to differing opinions on the ethical situation between Israel and Palestine.

I think it would be more fruitful if you spend some time refining your message to distill what you're trying to say. Maybe less is more.

Everyone?


Yes, everyone, including those with preexisting immunity, because of the risk of breakthrough infections.

Previous infection as well as the vaccine is only 97% effective against future infection, which means a significant amount of people are getting sick despite making the right choice and getting vaccinated. The fringe loonies are ruining things for everyone.

Measles kills people. You’re defending behavior that kills children. Kindly get out, preferably through a window.

Ah. Let’s all be cool and un-emotional and let the children die from a preventable disease. Because cool heads are more important than lives. Right, got it. You’re an idiot. Bye!
