> As a fist-swinger

And somehow you don't realize that you're the fist swinger here. As someone who had recovered from covid, I was already the minimum risk to others around me.

Especially considering I was very diligent about testing and avoiding people when I had even the slightest symptoms.

And yet you still believe you have some right to decide what things get injected into me. You are the fist swinger.

I appreciate why you might feel that way. It's reasonable for reasonable people to disagree, but in this case the experts we trust to decide these things decided that you were the one who presented a danger to society. I seriously doubt that you have the sort of medical credentials that would be required to get any serious person to take your word over those of the world class epidemiologists, virologists, etc who said the opposite.

Regardless of correctness though, even if they'd been wrong it's just part of life that sometimes you have to go along to get along. There are a lot of things I disagree with society about, but I depend on society to live. It would childish to try not to participate.

> the experts we trust

Who is this we? At least in America, we had a very... lets say curated view of what was known being blasted out over all major info channels, with any dissenting voices (yes, even credentialed ones!) being punished. In a lot of other places, I don't think my position was a controversial one.

Which is why I'm thankful the authoritarians haven't won everything yet, so I don't need anybody's permission to do the right thing, when everyone else is blithely going along to get along.

I suspect that people are labeling you an "anti vaxxer" not because of your decision to not receive the vaccine after already having had covid, but because of your rhetoric. "the jab", general and vague criticisms of medical industry, etc.

You're definitely giving off a vibe.
