Famous public outreach physicist Sabine Hossenfelder had agitated for lesser rights for the unvaccinated
Yet she stands proudly in front of audiences today, with narry a scratch to her reputation
Hey Sabine Hossenfelder, when you wrote this in 2021…
“Unvaccinated are a danger to themselves and others. Of course, they should not have the same rights and freedoms as vaccinated people. Anyone who intentionally puts others in danger has to live with the consequences.”
…did you not realize that…
(1) You were promoting firing, banishing, preventing travel and denying medical care to the unvaccinated, and that your viewpoint was not really due to their not taking the vax, but due to their refusal to bend a knee to the righteous Covid Cult that you soldiered for? The unvaxxed had become the evil unclean out group, and it was ok to do anything to them. You fell into exactly the sort of collective hysteria the great democides warn against.
(2) Threatening their job and existence in society means even those who took the vaccine were coerced, an egregious violation of informed consent and bodily autonomy.
(3) The vaccine didn’t slow transmission. It wasn’t designed to. It wasn’t tested for that. But the narrative nevertheless said it did.
(4) Even if the vaccine did slow transmission, it is still not epidemiologically sensible to push the unvaccinated into their own social clusters.
(5) The virus was mild for nearly everyone not having multiple comorbidities, and so many might rationally choose not to take it.
(6 Much of the world already had gotten and recovered from Covid, and had superior natural immunity. Why should they take an unnecessary vaccine?
(7) Most countries implemented State censorship of voices skeptical of the wisdom and ethics of vaccinating (as did social media and regular media), meaning the “informed” portion of informed consent was absent.
