"disease very bad. disease may kill. inject this. you less likely to get disease."

=> "How dare you infringe upon my bodily freedom!"

Realistically, how farther down can we dumb things from here?

The actual argument is that by everyone getting injected, society as a whole crosses a threshold where viruses fail to spread exponentially and don't cause pandemics.

It's a more nuanced, more complex reason that some (incredibly selfish) people are just unable to grasp.

"Why would I ever a tiny personal risk to stop other people getting sick!?" was a very common argument during the COVID pandemic.
