Lmao!

I said "There are two sides to every story. Has it happened, yes. Its it a problem... Well some say yes and some say no. We pick which we believe."
For example, there is the question, have our politicians all secretly been replaced by shapeshifting lizard people from Alpha Centauri? Some say yes, and some say no. Who's to say which of the two positions is the correct one?
We can only pick the side which we believe, but that could be either side, don't you think?

Illegal voting could harm people. Traveling unvaccinated could harm people.

I agree with the first part. Voter fraud subverts democracy.

But once a sufficient percentage of the population is vaccinated, who does traveling unvaccinated harm? The vaccinated majority are presumably immune. The unvaccinated person would seem to only be potentially harming other unvaccinated people on the plane (or whatever).

In other words, assuming that vaccination is widely available to everyone, then remaining unvaccinated would seem to be a risk that those unvaccinated people knowingly take. The only threat that an unvaccinated person who is unknowingly contageous would seem to present would be to other unvaccinated people, who ex hypothesi have knowingly agreed to assume that risk.

That being said, I can support countries with low rates of vaccination requiring evidence of vaccination for people entering their country from abroad, for domestic travel, for gathering in large groups or whatever it is. My remarks above only apply to those fortunate countries with high rates of vaccination, where vaccination is available to everyone.

The unvaccinated pose a risk to others of their ilk.
Moreover, the vaccines aren't 100% effective,
there's a smaller risk posed to the vaccinated.
On top of that, herd immunity might be defeated
if the anti-vaxer population is large enuf.
