> People who are not vaccinate are definitely behaving in a deeply antisocial way

Are chain smokers antisocial ? What about over eating obese ?

I hate risk-adverse fearful societies.




Second-hand smoke strikes me as antisocial if produced in an unavoidable setting.

Obesity ... seems like an entirely personal matter, except perhaps in children where they might be considered victims.

Highly infectious viruses several times more harmful than the usual ones are indeed turning the world upside down. I imagine with time most societies will come to accept such things after they've become endemic for a while.

Just like vaccination for Covid is personal. Remember that the vaccine does not prevent transmission of omicron. And that if the vaccine works, if an unvaccinated person transmits the virus to a vaccinated one, there should be no risk, right ?

Also, obese and overweight people account for 50% of hospitalizations in ICU for Covid in France.
