i mean this is correct in a sense from a classic liberal standpoint (john stuart mill) that the individual ought to be free to do as they wished unless they caused harm to others.

I hope you aren't suggesting that not getting the vax is "causing harm to others". That line is Bullshit. Way more harm has come to others from world leaders/governments locking us all down for a year. The damage from their overreaction will go one for decades! For what could have been pretty much done with in a year if we just isolated the at-risk until the vax was ready and then let people decide what the best choice is for their own personal risk-reward of getting the vax. That is a Libertarian (classic liberal?) point of view, IMO.

well you need herd immunity. so it's not bullshit.

edit: you can find that line i wrote in this wiki page: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_Stuart_Mill which links to many places. yeah it is a liberal view.
