This is the most thoughtful, nuanced comment I've seen on anews in years. Too bad it is unlikely to generate much discussion.

I too have just been voicing my opinion that mandatory vaccines (like curfews, like police enforcing how many people can be inside my house) are wrong, while also trying to encourage my family and friends to get vaccinated and engaging in my own version of social distancing that *does* make sense for the "sociality" of the community I actually live in . I think it's possible to care about both safety on a community level and freedom, but I don't see a lot of people out there expressing support for both these days. The whole left, even the anarchist adjacent left, where I live is clamouring for vaccine passports and the right is touting absurd conspiracy theories about the vaccine magnetizing your body and shit. Feels pretty lonely, and I wish there was something else out there but it seems like a lot of anarchists are just kind of hiding and hoping the whole covid moment will go away.
