  1. No matter how you try to justify it, forcing or coercing people to get vaccinated is similar to the coercive measures that the Right uses to make women give birth. Vaccination has nothing to do with stopping the spread of the virus, this was known months after the vaccines were made available and has been confirmed by studies since them. The vaccines were never designed to provide "sterilizing immunity" they only reduced or eliminated symptoms of an infection including hospitalization and death. However, the Left has been constantly perpetuated this lie that the vaccines stop people from spreading the virus for over a year now which was never true. You can certainly make the argument that masking policies made sense when vaccines were unavailable or limited because masks physically stop or slow down the droplets coming from our mouths. However constantly pretending that vaccine mandates or coercive measures were necessary to stop transmission is disingenuous. All you're doing is making an attempt justify an incorrect position which is similar to what the right wing does.
