    No one is being forced to get the vaccine. As for yourself, healthy living will not protect you against infection although it will, in general, reduce the likelihood that you die from the disease. In general, the decision to vaccinate or not is not a simple individual one. If you're infection only risked your own life then it would be a purely personal decision whether or not you wanted to get vaccinated and run the risk of perhaps Contracting a deadly disease. But you getting infected puts other people at risk because you can spread the disease to others. So you have a moral responsibility to get vaccinated even if you're purely personal preference might be to not get vaccinated. Now, you might ask well why should you get vaccinated if everyone else who is concerned about getting the disease ends up getting vaccinated. There's at least two reasons for this. First off, there are some people who legitimately cannot, or should not, get vaccinated. I'm not talking about people like yourself who simply would rather not do it out of personal preference. I'm talking about people who have a genuine medical condition where it would potentially be dangerous for them to get vaccinated. By not taking the vaccine you put those people's lives in danger. Furthermore, we're seeing a lot of new variants of the coronavirus pop-up. Every person who refuses to get vaccinated provides a pool for Coronavirus to survive and mutate, possibly a newer version which is unaffected by the immunity gained through vaccinations. That would eliminate all the benefits that we've achieved through our extremely successful vaccination campaign. So your decision whether or not to get vaccinated is not a purely personal one. Just like you cannot decide to get drunk and drive your car you should not decide to not get vaccinated purely as a matter of personal preference. The only reason not to get vaccinated as if you have a real legitimate medical reason why vaccinations would be dangerous for you.

    Can you cite one single source that shows anyone being forced to have the vaccine?  Yes, people are being strongly urged to do so, because scientific experts know they are as safe as any other vaccine, and shown to protect against the extremely painful and potentially lethal Covid-19.

    If you know anything at all about Covid-19, you know that  standard health precautions are just not enough, and people younger than you are getting sick.  And that's not even considering the fact that people with no visible symptoms can spread the virus to other people.

    As for the ridiculous accusations that the vaccine includes a tracking device--if you're that worried about your privacy, you can just throw your phone and computer in the trash, and trade your car for a bike, because all of them have been proven to be traceable.

    Then there’s a pretty good chance you may get COVID 19. Enjoy.

    Democrats are totalitarian. They mean harm. Hopefully the vaccines are not going to harm anyone.
