While I agree with you, unfortunately a lot of people saying this do it to cast doubt on vaccines/mRNA/anything they don't like, further cementing the political divide and damaging public trust.
Even if I am a firm believer in individual freedom - including the possibility of self informed individuals to refuse vaccination if they think their individual risk is more important than group immunity, I fear we may see the consequence of a lack of trust in science for the next decades to come (while I'd personally be delighted to get a yearly vaccine against the latest strain of whatever, and get vaccines against things we couldn't envision fighting before mRNA technology, such as EBV or HSV)
you mention "group immunity" that means natural immunity and vaccine immunity.
immunity means the body will be immune to the virus.
the injections do not provide immunity.
its hard to run a small to medium business these days:
- its not possible to know if there will be a lockdown X hours from now. (business must close)
- employees that feel perfectly fine are subjected to testing that might come false positive (yes this is possible with pcr). then employees take days off (boss cant know how many employees will show up).
how is it possible to run a business under such conditions ? if its a restaurant, the food might expire.
at the same time the too big to fail are open as 'essential' business. and receive bail outs if needed.
