  In some countries, such as Austria the unvaccinated have been deprived of their civil liberties -- "locked down". You can think vaccines have some protective ability but oppose coerced vaccination. Does that make you an "anti-vaxxer"?

  I encourage everyone eligible to get vaccinated (most anti-vaxxers are irrational), but coercive mandates aren't justified.

  "No I don't think it should be mandatory, I wouldn't demand it be mandatory."
