Maybe just a por choice of comparison.
You’re wrong, Ross. It’s a personal choice whether or not it’s for the greater good. I’m all for people doing what they want to do, and for the record I’ve been fully vaccinated
for weeks. But I don’t expect others to get the vaccine if they’re not comfortable.
I also have some very liberal friends who refuse to get the vaccination because they’re afraid that it might have bad side effects in the future. I don’t tell them they’re stupid or inconsiderate of others. It’s their personal choice.

Conservatism is not about leaving people behind. Conservatism is about empowering people to catch up, to give them tools at their disposal that make it possible for them to access all the hope, all the promise, all the opportunity that America offers. - Marco Rubio

I see your point, if I don't fully agree. But I do resent those who choose an (in)action that likely prolongs the pandemic for the whole.

I understand why you feel that way. I chose to get vaccinated so I can spend time with my parents and I would think most people would want to so things can get back to normal sooner. But I also don’t want to live in a country where people are forced to get vaccinated.
