Stop. You're intentionally skewing what's being said and making the problem worse.
People are against _forced_ medical procedures by a government.
A small minority is anti-science, but you give them a voice every time YOU do what you just did.
The rules don't stop applying. as a topic becomes more significant or as feelings become more intense. Matter of fact, they apply more:
"Comments should get more thoughtful and substantive, not less, as a topic gets more divisive."
No, they really aren't. No one is against eye tests as part of driving. No one is against a hospital saving an unconscious person's life without prior consent. No one was even against vaccinations to go to school.
And this isn't even a "forced medical procedure". It's a requirement for large corporations, not people.
whereas the majority of people are not against vaccine mandates

Trust is indeed at issue here, but in my opinion, it's more about a lack of trust in authorities rather than trust in the "wrong talking heads". However, this is all conjecture on both our parts.
