I think it's more a very vocal portion of twitter than a large portion of the masses. Even as someone who's very pro-vaccine and wishes people would just get on and take it, I'm really uncomfortable with the public dragging of people over their personal medical decisions - no matter how much I disagree with those decisions. But AB isn't that - he's getting dragged because he also wants to circumvent the safety procedures that are in place to facilitate his personal decision.
Agree. 99% of the population doesn't care about personal medical decisions. If the government or employers had zero protocols in place for both vaccinated and unvaccinated people, there would be zero discussion about the morality or personal nature of the decision. Like 48% of the population doesn't get a flu vaccine... practically nobody talks about that.
These decisions are criticized because of the impact they have on others. A vaccinated person has to wear a mask at a job because other people refuse to get vaccinated. When somebodies personal decisions impacts other people, it becomes personal to more than just the person making the decision.
And honestly, we as a society can get past that too. There's a solution for that also, which I would stand behind, but its also a lot more cruel and will never see the light of day, so here we are.
As long as there aren't effective treatments for COVID (which are coming, apparently) and we reduce the virus down to a "manageable" level that doesn't burden hospitals, that criticism will continue, and there's nothing that anybody will do to stop it. The people who don't like being criticized are just going to have to live with that criticism longer.
