I was referring strictly to his RIGHT to be able to make his own risk assessment, not the underpinnings thereof. However, realize that if one (such as you and others in this thread) believes that it can never be the case that one not getting the vaccine is the correct choice for themselves, then you are essentially engaged in ideological totalitarianism. That is, you do not admit of a plurality of views and opinions. You can dress it up in "the science" all you want, but at the end of the day this is what it comes down to. This is not to suggest that certain views and opinions are not more or less informed, but at the end of the day a person has the right to decide for themselves, especially where it concerns their own bodily autonomy (and no, arguments such as "but you're affecting others by not being vaxxed" are not of sufficient force to override these concerns and rights given the level of threat of this virus).
This ideological totalitarianism is EXACTLY of the same kind we see in debates about various issues: BLM, abortion, transgender rights etc. People who just will not admit of any opinion besides their own. Increasingly, they hide behind "science" and/or "data" in such discussions as well, using it as a shield. It's all the same. And it's frightening.
