> And Im in favor of banning video games, social media and pornography.

Those are quite bad analogies you have there.

Playing video games, reading/posting to social media (assuming you're not posting content inciting violence etc) and watching pornography (or producing pornography, assuming consent of all involved) are not actions that have any significant potential to cause harm to others. I don't mind if somebody spends their entire day jerking off with their left hand while playing video games with their right, all the while posting to Twitter via Siri. I wouldn't personally want to be that person(or follow them on Twitter, for that matter), but it's their life and they're not hurting anybody.

Socializing without taking proper COVID precautions however puts other people at immediate risk. Getting vaccinated is one of the precautions we can take to avoid that, and it has been shown to be tremendously effective. It is also very quick, and very low risk for healthy adults. So it is our social responsibility to get vaccinated.

FWIW, I'm OK with people choosing to not get vaccinated for whatever batshit reason they may cite. Their body, their choice, right? But my body is not their choice. So if they choose to commit to endangering myself and other responsible people, and potentially contribute to overloading the health system we rely on, then I also expect them to accept the necessary consequences: minimizing social contact, getting COVID tests whenever they want to enter any establishment, potentially having to look for a new job that can be done 100% from home, and waiving their right to be treated for any COVID infection they may contract while unprotected.

You clearly haven't read much about the societal impacts of pornography. Being a enthusiastic consumer doesn’t make you am expert.

But, I’ll take you up on your offer. Its better than the one Im currently facing.

You do realize that viral immunity is possible without vaccination, right?

Yeah, the only downside is increased death; continued disruption to the economy and everyday life for everyone, not just the refuseniks themselves; and continued strain on the medical system for no good reason. Otherwise, letting things run their course is just as good.
