re: What is your true opinion on anti-vaxxing/anti-vaxxers? *Pre-COVID edition

I say it's their choice. As with any choice, there are consequences of those choices.

Not vaccinated, don't run to the hospital if you get sick
Not vaccinated, be prepared to pay for your own hospital stay if your insurance makes a choice not to cover Covid Infections.
Not vaccinated, be prepared to find another job if your current gig decides to require workers to be vaccinated.
Not vaccinated, be prepared to be denied entry to businesses that require everyone to show proof of vaccination; it's their choice.

The anti-vaxxer are not the only people who have the right to choose.

A lot of this is fine if you just ignore how we handle every other healthcare decision in this country.

Less than a decade this country fought a moral battle over preexisting conditions, plenty of which are in part the result of voluntary choices, and many of those are far more problematic than COVID.
