Charlie made my point about the vaccine/flu shot pretty clearly - both are less about you and more about the community in general. Even in the case of the flu shot, even though it doesn't cover all the strains, if enough people get it, SOME of the strains are largely off the table and that's a good thing.
Jake, pointing to the Tuskegee Study and relating it to the COVID vaccine is a pretty far stretch. That is a WILDLY different scenario and I hope you can see that. And bringing up abortion in relation to this? Really? I will say one thing, and one thing only on that topic because you are hitting a standard republican argument that grinds my gears. I am pro-choice POLITICALLY. I am pro-life PERSONALLY. This falls in line with many other political choices I make. It is not up to ME, how YOU handle things that affect YOUR PERSONAL life. It's none of my business how you decide things like that. That's why it's called 'pro-CHOICE' not 'PRO-KILL-ALL-THE-BABIES'. Until the republicans can get that concept through their thick fucking skulls and stay out of people's lives, we won't get anywhere. It's funny... republicans claim to be the party of 'less government', but it's ONLY when it comes to money. They want to govern the fuck out of anything that goes against their moral fiber, which goes against the separation of church and state. Interesting, isn't it?
