However, that time is not yet here. I am enjoying life and want to continue to do so for a few years. Having to live as a shut-in puts a crimp in that. I am taking away your freedom?
Yes. Vaccine mandates would obviously reduce freedom.

This is a false dichotomy. The loss of a freedom doesn't need to rise to the level of oppression to be undesirable. I think adults should have the freedom to use marijuana. Doesn't mean that I think people in states where it's illegal are oppressed because of it.
Quote:Who is actually losing their freedom in this?
If there's a mandate, the people who are vaccinated against their will.
Not you. You're living as a shut-in by choice. Your fear shows that you know that vaccines, masking, and distancing may help, but they don't remove the risk of covid. If you don't want to be a shut-in, you're going to have to take chances.
