Freedom to Die

There seem to be many people who believe a recommendation of COVID-19 vaccination by public health officials somehow interferes with their freedom. Well, it is just a recommendation. They do point out that not being vaccinated endangers the person not getting vaccinated as well as others but force is not involved and it is a recommendation.

You are free to get the vaccine or not.

I do not see why freedom is involved. If someone recommendations something you are free to accept that or not. Of course your choices can have consequences. in this case, the consequence may be your death and the death of family members, friends or others. And there could be lesser indirect consequences such as being denied admission to a place where you will endanger others.

Vaccinations save lives, maybe your life or someone you care about will be one of them. But you are free to do as you want.
