I agree the vaccine shouldn't be forced. You guys should have had the choice to be excluded from society instead. The world will benefit if the people who loudly and proudly fail the easiest character test of the 21st century had been confined to their homes indefinitely.

It's funny cause Biden and Fauci took the vaccine and boosters and still caught COVID-19. Both of them needed an AIDS drug called Paxlovid to survive. Their vaccine couldn't save them. So much for your character test.

Also, China tried your approach of confining people against their will, it didn't work. More than 50% of each plane from China is covid positive. Damn

Neither Biden nor Fauci spent 1 day in the hospital. Neither one even really stopped working. They took paxlovid because, at that point, it was proven to be effective in mitigating the severity of infection. You don't take chances with the most important person in the country even if they felt fine. If the president tested positive for the flu, he's still getting Tamiflu regardless of how mild his case might be.

Paxlovid is not and has never been an AIDS drug. It was developed for SARS-COV2 starting in 2020, partially based off an aborted attempt at a SARS antiviral from 2003. It went through a year and a half of development and trials before getting emergency authorization and it's very likely helped save many lives. A big part of the reason we have little to no concern as a society now is because of how effective Paxlovid and vaccines have been at keeping hospitals from being overwhelmed and deaths from spiking.

Weird, the person who gave covid to the rest of my household was fully vaccinated and boosted. It's almost like the vaccine didn't work as advertised

Also, China tried your proposed method of forcibly confining people, it didn't work. Their cases keep spiking. Even with their lack of human rights which allows their government to do pretty much whatever they want as far as covid mitigation methods
