My opinion on this specific vaccine is irrelevant, I have a big problem with the federal government getting this involved in my personal health, and terms in which I can be employed. Especially considering how unvaccinated people are pretty much only affecting each other, and covid actually hasn't killed that many people (~0.001% of the population here) This goes against a lot of my principles even if I believe it would ultimately be beneficial to our countries literal and economic health.

Dude. Even if that was right, that's still 300,000 Americans.

I feel like it's important to use percentages and per-capita statistics, as opposed to raw numbers that sound scary. But of course best way of looking at the data is kind of subjective though, so to each their own is all I can say shrug
