My partner and I ran into one of my (adult) nephews friends at the store back in in the early days of the pandemic. We were talking about trying to get the vaccine, and he replied “I choose not to live my life in fear.”
Oh? It seems like you’re pretty afraid of the “jab” to me.
These people are oblivious to how stupid they sound…
Viruses don’t care what you choose, and you’re also making that choice for others (although a lot of antivaxxers don’t have a problem telling others what they can and can’t do with their bodies. They only care when someone tries to apply rules to them.)
I utterly despise their smug arrogance and complete disregard for public health.
Because of course the only options are crippling fear or reckless disregard for the safety of yourself and others. It’s simply not possible to take precauations based on science and logical, rational thinking.
Those were my libertarian friends exact words too. Then he rattled off all these “studies” that showed the vaccine was dangerous, even claiming that in a couple years, health insurances would be charging vaccinated people more because of the higher risk.
But sure, I live my life in fear. A former amateur boxing, sketchy Chinese mountain plank walking, great white cage diving, coward.
Herman Cain made the same choice, and yet viruses are remarkably persistent in infecting these people who don’t live in fear just the same. I wish COVID had made many more antivaxxers ill before it faded into the background.

I wonder if he doesn’t wear seatbelts or look both ways when crossing the street for the same reason.
They probably complain about seat belts, and walk? Are you kidding me?
Or wash his hands after taking a dump.

It’s like every day is Opposite Day! Imagine how much fun that must be for these bozos.
