I think people keep missing the point as to why this is all wrong. It's a confusion that it's just personal choice, whether to take it or not... the majority of people wouldn't care if others take it. The problem comes with the mandates. The problem is you gave in to the mandate, and enabled yet another step in the direction of totalitarianism, and then you justify it by claiming some personal risks.

The personal reasons are irrelevant when they keep lying about when this will all end. "just take it, and we'll reach herd immunity", but then they'll just pivot and say, there is no herd immunity, and 100% of people need to take it. Meanwhile individuals rationalize their own decisions as if this is all under individual control, and take yet another step closer to forever mandates. The more people give in, the harder it will be to fight totalitarians as they keep luring us in to a world where everyone is taking any medicine they want, whenever they want, or you can't eat, work, travel or live a normal life.
