People don’t want to take the vaccine because others are trying to force them to.

They would say “it’s not FDA approved!” not as the core of their hesitancy, but because they were trying to be appeal to pro-vax peoples decision making framework.

I don’t think we should be able to require them to.

To many of you here: imagine the Trump admin trying to require you to take the vaccine in November of last year. Cities would have burned over it.

And honestly: I was one of the first to take it, but the desire to almost force me to take a booster, and the weird, Orwellian ways that the government talks about it, has turned me against the booster.

It ends up feeling less like the decisions are guided by science and more like they’re guided by petty tyrants wanting to control what others do.

Anybody who has ever lived under an HOA will recognize this.
