You can be pro-vaccination, anti-mask, anti-lockdown and pro-covid passports.

I don't see any contradictions in my stance, so I'm wondering if there's anything I haven't thought of.<br><br>To me, it's simple:<br><br>Vaccination: This is the most effective weapon we have against covid. If you choose not to take it, that's your choice, you get to decide what goes into your body. But if you then get covid, it's on you, not on the healthcare system, just like if you smoke and get emphysema, or drink and get liver disease. If you're a parent, your children should be vaccinated, but it's not the job of the government to tell you so, it's your job as a parent to care about the health and wellbeing of your children, but should the government not allow you to send your kids to school if they're not up to date with their vaccinations? IMO yes, but that's a different discussion. We, as a society, need to trust science here.<br><br>Mask: I've done a ton of research into masks, and I've found nothing that suggests that they're effective, especially the cloth ones. They're either useless (if you don't wear them correctly), or they're so good that they're classified as PPE (if you do), but then you need to wear them correctly. And I would trust the average citizen to do that as much as I'd trust a typical 18 year old to drink responsibly at their first college frat party. N95s are PPE, which require a medical certification to wear, and even then only in a workplace/medical setting. To enforce a mask policy for everyone outside of that would be doomed to fail IMO.<br><br>Lockdown: By my definition, a lockdown is putting people under curfew, closing non-essential businesses (which, by my definition, means anything that isn't a pharmacy/supermarket/grocer/hospital etc), shutting down public transport, etc etc. Some places have laws you can't go outside without a good reason, etc etc. To summarise: you can't do anything that the government doesn't allow you to do. To me, that's a breach of personal freedom. You can't stop covid, no matter how hard you try. The government has no right to tell you when and where you can leave your house. It's the government's responsibility to provide free healthcare and education to everyone, not to tell you what to do.<br><br>Covid Passports: This brings me to the topic of this post. To me, a covid passport is your personal choice, not the government's. As previously discussed, I don't think that the government should tell you whether you can get a vaccine, whether you can go outside, or whether you can wear a mask. Your call. But I do think that businesses should have a right to decide whether they serve customers who may be a risk. For example, if you want to get on a plane, the airline should have a right to decide whether they let you on if you haven't been vaccinated. If you want to go to a bar, the bar owner should have a right to decide whether or not they let you in if you haven't been vaccinated.<br><br>So to summarise: you can do whatever you want, and businesses can do whatever they want. We live in a free market, after all.<br><br>Edit: I didn't make myself clear enough about wearing masks. If you choose to wear one, that's totally fair. Also, I didn't make myself clear enough about lockdowns. I'm against the lockdown laws, but I'm not against the laws that businesses shouldn't be open because it's unsafe, I'm against the laws that stop you, as an individual, from doing what you want.
