Not a sock-puppet. If you want to get vaccinated, go for it. I'm not stopping you or persuading you not to. If you're all vaxxed up, you have nothing to worry about. Correct?

And this right here is the sum of the pro-disease side's argument.
No interest in understanding vaccines, epidemiology, or public health issues like community immunity. In fact, they don't even bother to address it. Instead, it's a thinly veiled conspiracy theory where us "drones" presumably are being misled by every single reputable medical professional/organization.
But when pushed, of course, the answer is "hey, why are you worried if you vaccinate"? Well, it's not that simple, but they don't care, of course. But moreover that position or question from the pro-diseasers is flawed because, unlike them, not every one is a selfish #######. Unlike them the majority are decent people who do not believe they or their family are special snowflakes distinct and better than the general society for whom science is working. If individuals can do things that are scientifically proven to be beneficial for them, and that will enhance the general health of their neighbours, particularly the vulnerable, individuals ought to do them. In fact, we have an ethical and moral obligation to do them.
So ya, I'm likely to not get sick because I'm vaccinated. You're right. But here's the difference between us. I'm astute enough to figure out that not everything is about me. You apparently still need to learn that lesson. Hopefully you don't hurt anyone along the way.
