People can do what they want with their bodies, but "my body, my choice" does not apply when your body is a vector for an infectious disease that has the capacity to collapse hospital systems. If that were the case we'd be riddled with measles and tuberculosis.

When we're talking about an infectious disease, it's not just your body.
Frankly, as a TB survivor, I find this hilarious. The minute I was diagnosed, I was placed in the hands of public health & was required by law to do everything they said. Including taking drugs for 9 months that impaired my liver function & gave me serotonin poisoning.
But oh no, you have the option to take a vaccine?! And someone is asking you to wear a piece of cloth on your face?
I would've gone to jail if I'd stopped taking TB drugs that cause organ damage. I had someone check under my tongue every day to make sure I took every damn drug

And you know what? This is why we don't have TB on a large scale anymore. Because public health has court orders to make everyone who's infected get treated w/ drugs that incapacitate you, damage your liver, and turn all your bodily fluids orange. For nine months.
But boo-hoo, you have to wear a mask. And someone is offering you a free vaccine.
So sad.
So sad.
