Hitler took away that freedom with fascism, jewish population suffered unimaginably. He did it by force.
Today's world is different (USA at least). You have "inconveniences" if you don't get vaccine. So people start debating the meaning of the word "forced". No one physically forced you but if you can't keep you job, make a living, travel etc. Is that the same thing?
Do you see my point? Before you know it, little arguments grow like a snowball. And people become entrenched into their own "side". Even if the vaccine became 100% safe, lack of trust would prevent from believing it. No one knows the facts or the truth and division continues. The opposite is also true. Anyone who's gotten the vaccine and din't die won't accept that there was a risk with taking it in the first place. Any evidence to the contrary will be shrugged as "those anti-vax ppl again". Right?
That dynamic is fascinating and scary at the same time.
But if you are unwilling to even listen to the other side, then you've got a problem that's only getting worse. And I repeat, we are more similar than different. It's the people who fight for power that drive this division in the regular good hearted people. And those people doing all this for power grab are all scum. We need leaders who can unite people and we don't have any. That's the bad news.
