I was working on my friend's farm last weekend with a health care worker hippie chick who expressed the belief to me that vaccine should be a personal choice, and that the responsibility lies on each individual to ensure they take care of themselves enough to not be immunocompromised. I thought this was a strange and rather self-centered view. it relies on the assumption that everyone, if they take care of themselves, can eliminate the risk of serious disease from COVID... essentially it is saying, if you get really sick from it, it's your fault for not taking care of yourself. Yet this is demonstrably not the case. Many otherwise healthy people have genetic conditions, or cancers, or so on, that do not allow them to not be immunocompromised. Not to mention the elderly.
This isn't really a fair comparison. Hepatitis isn't transmissible by breathing, so unless said person is walking into your store randomly stabbing people with used needles, it's not the same.
Doesn't matter...how do i know you don't have racing stripes on your underwear? Passport please....
