“I just don’t understand this sort of macho thing about, “I’m not gonna get the vaccine. I have a right as an American, my freedom to not do it,”‘ Biden said during the interview with Stephanopoulos. ‘Well, why don’t you be a patriot? Protect other people.”

Sorry, but "protecting other people" is not my responsibility. I don't know how this could be any clearer. YOUR health is YOUR responsibility alone, I have no part in "protecting you". If the vaccine actually works, and you got it, then YOU ARE PROTECTED, REGARDLESS IF I AM. If your precious vaccine works, and protects you, it doesn't matter at all if I got it or not. You won't get the virus from me, you're protected right?

I don't need to be someone dependent on vaccines to survive. We don't need to be dependent. The best protection is the natural protection you're born with. Vaccines, when proven over years of research, are something you should take only as a necessity if you're prone to bad infections, elderly or just don't ever want to deal with getting an infection. You should never "just get a vaccine" for the sake of "getting a vaccine" and "feeling protected"

I don't get the whole "protect other people" line either. They took the vaccine so they ARE protected. Others that decided to not get the vaccine understood the risks and decided to take their chances. Such a dumb statement for Biden and the Dems. to make.
