well I can't speak for "they" but the argument I heard the most was, not being forced to take a medical procedure, it's actually very simple.

I took the Covid shoot, twice BTW

and that argument is dumb because they aren't being forced to take anything, they just can't force other people to be around them if they want to spread disease everywhere.

lol the Covid shot doesn't stop the spread, and firing people if they didn't take a medical procedure or not letting them participate in society is very Soviet Union of them.

And the flu shot doesn't stop the spread of the flu..... Because that's not the point of the flu shot.

The whole point was to lessen the transmission rate and to reduce the severity of the illness. Which the COVID vaccine did very well, especially in at-risk communities.

firing people if they didn't take a medical procedure or not letting them participate in society is very Soviet Union of them.

You know we've been doing that since polio.... Right? You can't get into public schools without immunization paperwork. The only reason you have an opinion about vaccines is because the GOP told you what opinion you should have.
