There is no excuse to think others will keep me, or you, safe or; that I won't be harmed or, will skate by with a minor sniffle if I catch it. There is no choice in the matter of disease prevention. You do it.
Mom was on her back for a year and a half as a child. She had to learn how to walk again. Post polio syndrome is not a granny tale.
Mom was advised not to have children because she would slip on a fallen pea and break a hip. Her three boys were c-section, mandatory because she had no diaphragm muscles to push natural birth. Every cold was a life-threatening worry for her. I gave her mumps just before my brother was born. She went to the hospital.
Plagues have decimated civilizations for over hundreds of years before so-called herd immunity began to work. World populations have dropped by a third and more. And, people don't want to harm rats and mice living among them.
There is no choice in the matter of disease prevention. No politics, no social demand to ignore prevention. There is no choice to push personal exclusion upon my, or others, children. There is no excuse to endanger other people for my rationalization psychology. Plausibility is not facts, it's fairy tales.
I remember the long lines at what seemed a mile of tables where children especially, were being shot with Salk vaccine. And, later, more shots until the sugar pill fixed immunity permanently. Mom's mobility was already in decline by then, before my brother was born. She could not walk, and then stand the last several years of life
