> And nobody is banning novaxxed from getting medical care for free

False. France has at some point subordinated access to non-covid related health services to vaccination status.

>They’re totalitarians attacking scientific proof, wishing that their magical thinking

Post a copy of your PhD please. Not only you are lying on easily verifiable facts as mentionned previously, but you obviously have no idea what is science and how it is made. There is a reason vaccination hesitancy is highest (~25%) amoung PhD level educated people: precisely because they know the limit of science and how it is manipulated in the public discurse.

We did not, where did you get this from?

But we should have had. If you are not vaccinated then you should be at the very end of the queue, when there is no risk for anybody else. If you die then you can be proud that you did it defending your freedom.

Not OP but I do have a PhD (physics) and I ran to get my 3rd booster shot when it was available. Also because I looked at numbers and I happen to know how science is done (and what was messed up with statistics when reporting covid data, but that's another story)

Followed by the "high school or less" group at 20%, presumably for the same reasons, then?

Also, you balk at the GP calling antivaxxers "totalitarians", yet you say this in a comment below:

> I therefore propose to use an experimental vaccine using Guillotinine (a molecule related to quinine) and administer it to a selected test subjects such as Pfizer's and Moderna CEOs, CEO of big TV network as well as a few ministers of health and selected parliamentarians. I bet that covid will cease to be a thing in less than two weeks after injection.

Not taking a side but this is an ad hominem argument

> vaccination hesitancy is highest (~25%) amoung PhD level educated people:

could you share a source for this? sounds fascinating

It's FUD from a self-reported Facebook survey earlier this year: https://www.wnct.com/news/north-carolina/fact-check-setting-...

what's FUD?

Fear, uncertainty, and doubt, I assume.
