At the end of the day, some of us still have the relative freedom to choose whether to get vaccinated or not and whatever reasons define your own choice should be respected by everyone, regardless of your position.
The most unfortunate aspect of the pandemic is how it has polarised people's attitudes and caused division.
In my opinion, that's the real tragedy and I sympathise with the thousands of government/private-sector workers in the US and around the world who have either been fired or forced to walk of the job for their own beliefs.

Oh dear,

Well I do feel sorry for you then. I have been watching dear Jacinda's draconian politics from a far and can't believe you are where you are.

The creation of the two-tier society over there alongside your Australian cousins makes me very fearful if they succeed.
I'm in NL (Netherlands), not NZ. :D
But I agree, it's basically tyranny over in Oz and NZ right now.

It's sad that people find all sorts of reasons not to be vaccinated. People close to me have lost loved ones to Covid and they hadn't been vaccinated. I have many friends who have had Covid who were vaccinated and they didn't die. The vast majority of people who are in ICU's at the moment are not vaccinated and if people refuse to get vaccinated the strain that they are likely to put on our NHS this winter is totally selfish and unnecessary. I won't socialise with unvaccinated people, knowingly, for that very reason as I could pass on Covid to them and they could then burden the NHS.

"I saw a woman make this statement in front of some group" Well researched then?

Try this. Put your hand an inch in front of your face and cough. Now repeat whilst wearing ANY mask. Then tell me what difference you noticed.
Hmmm reading comprehension issues...? I’ll give you the benefit of the doubt and assume that you didn’t read her statement. She was talking about the “vaccine “ not masks.

Does it matter? She was talking about protection against Covid, of which masks are a part.

It doesn’t make her statement any less stupid.

The protected are protected because they are protected. Did she mean the unprotected weren't protected in the first place, perhaps? The surviving unprotected than became protected and became the protected. :tumbleweed:
