8,000 - 10,000 Canadians die every year from the flu + pneumonia.
I don't understand why everyone is so passionate about mandating vaccines.

You're pulling stats and neglecting the steps necessary to curb further mass infections. The 3 levels of governments - well, mostly the local municipalities, stepped in to mandate COVID restrictions. Unlike the US and India where you're talking about a few hundred 1000's of people dead because there were no leadership to prevent the spread. Every year, flu vaccines are given for free, but the common cold is a different virus that isn't likely going to kill the majority of the people. I don't understand why people would want to risk getting sick in the first place. Why risk something that's going to cause you to be sick or more sick when it doesn't have to be when you can prevent it and then spreading the disease? I'm sure everyone of us growing up feel that we're invincible. Once you get to a certain age, then you'd think differently. You can bring out all the numbers you want, they mean nothing when the virus runs rampant and everyone is mandated to stay inside. If you want freedom, vaccination does provide a peace of mind, a solution to reduce hospitalizations, and to open up things back to normal. No one wants to be sick and no one likes the lockdown (well except for hermits). So, the more people getting vaccinated, the faster our freedom and happiness goes back to normal!
It's funny how we all take freedom and healthcare for granted. Yet, there's a bunch of people who don't take into considerations of others and basically their actions (or inactions) take a burden in our society. Freedom and rights has a limit in democratic society. We're all not all privy to full freedom as we're still bound by rules. So, if you think freedom is free to do what you want, think about the rules and regulations that keep the communities running as normal. The more people defy restrictions and regulations, the more restrictions comes into effect and vice versa.
