Which, according to the commenter, don't work, apparently

Yea lets put everyone under house arrest for the rest of their lives.

I was double vaxxed and boosted, so I essentially did exactly what I was told to do, it didn't help.
Since Covid is never going away, I don't want booster shots that don't work every few months.
This has nothing to do with harming others in society. If I end up with Covid again, I'll isolate myself.
Did you just entirely dismiss what he said about catching it?
It is not his responsibility to protect you or anyone else. YOU can stay home and isolate if you can't handle being out. Stop putting your burden on everyone else. You (and your ilk) have no right to demand protection from others while putting yourself in harms way.
"I can't handle my own health anxiety so I'm going to make sure everyone makes ME feel better regardless of how it affects their lives"
You're the selfish one in this situation.
Who are we protecting? What measures? Why is he responsible for the health and actions of others? Who exactly is he helping by getting more boosters?
Why is it hard for you to understand that a free society doesn't put the onus on others to keep you or anyone else healthy. You are free to boost the shit out of your system, quadruple mask, and lock down all you want for the end of time. No one will force you to go out. Leave the rest to freedom of individual choice.
Eh? We restrict activities that have negative externalities on the people around you all the time. To name a few: anything that creates pollution, smoking, excessive alcohol consumption, even having ridiculously bright headlights in your car.
Most of those things are restricted when they actually harm people NOT before. You are not restricted from consuming alcohol unless you go out and drink or do something else under the influence. You are not restricted from smoking unless you do it in a place where the smoke cannot be avoided. In this scenario you'd be demanding someone stop smoking while walking towards the smoke.
Lastly, I'm sort of done convincing people like you. I no longer care what you think. I and many others are going to move on with our lives. What are you going to do to stop us?
In this country we typically don’t care how our actions and policies affect broader society, from NIMBYism to faux-meritocracies to non-universal healthcare.
I really can’t fault anyone for not caring how their actions affect others, it’s been engrained in our culture/laws/policies as long as I’ve been alive.
Let the strongest survive. We do it in every other facet of our lives (well it’s more let the strongest take all and let the weakest suffer for decades).
I’m vaccinated, boosted, and wear masks when needed. I do that for me, not for society. Personally, I’d love 20-40M Americans to kick the bucket with this pandemic, free up housing, decrease the labor supply, lower carbon emissions. Sounds wonderful.
