Are you going to take the vaccine?

[Margan]

I pondered this, how governments can get away with restricting so many freedoms bc of one sickness which more than 95% of those afflicted survive.....
Then someone explained it in a youtube video. He basically likened it to people leaning towards two different camps - one is "freedom" and the other is "security".
The security people want to be secure from the virus so much that no matter how many restrictions they are ok with it ("just lock everyone up with no contacts and we will be safe from this epidemic")
the other ones are the ones who are more leaning towards personal freedom and responsibility and they feel the restrictions badly and are not so much afraid of this one single virus....
and those two camps cannot really get together in their extreme versions because they simply cannot relate to the other one's pov.
And governments and the media, by hyping the panic and fear around this virus and focusing on the really bad covid cases are essentially triggering people's worst fears, which are fear of death and fear of suffering....

I leave you with this quote by Benjamin Franklin :
"People willing to trade their freedom for temporary security deserve neither and will lose both"
