Aaron Rogers

"People" are mad because he lied about his vaccine status. No they aren't. They gave Kyrie the same "he's a dumbass" treatment. This is the exact public shaming and ridicule Rogers wanted to avoid, and the public reaction to him getting COVID validates his point.

I'm pro vaccine. I would've gotten the vaccine tested on myself last year before the approval. I think it's the best thing we've built in my lifetime. 

But the question around Rogers is simple: do we have tolerance for grown up Americans opting out of using vaccines? I vote we ought to tolerate it. Others don't. 

And for those who don't, I have questions:

1) How much pressure are you willing to put on the non-compliant? Will you not let them in restaurants? Movies? Will you take their jobs? Not allow them in school? Refuse them medical care?

2) Do you think your pressure will work? Can you reasonably demonstrate the pressure you apply will get more people vaccinated?

3) And with the extra vaccinations you brought to bear with your pressure, how many fewer severe cases, hospitalizations, and deaths have you prevented? Can you show any numbers?

4) How long do you intend to pressure people into vaccinations? Do you intend to require boosters for employment, school, restaurants, etc?

5) How about children? Should children be required to be COVID vaccinated even with the rate of death for children being around 1 in 100,000? Have you seen the list of vaccinations children are already required to take? I count 7-8. 

6) How do we factor in natural immunity? Not at all? Do all those people who caught chicken pox as youngsters therefore need a chicken pox vaccine now, too?
