I'm largely indifferent.

I don't know how privacy stuff works in USA.

From an educational perspective, I don't think it changes anything.

From a venting/entertainment perspective, some may find this useful.

It's the other side of the commonly-touted "echo chambers". There's bias there. They're just on the correct side of science right now.



My personal view on this is that:

1) I'm vaccinated so my chances of dying or having severe disease are as low as feasible right now.

2) Others can do whatever they want. They're not my concern.

3) Other people's actions may increase or decrease my family members' chances of catching COVID, but that's not something I can control so I leave that issue aside.

4) If shit hits the fans and I consider my workplace unsafe then I just have to decide on whether or not I resign - that's all I can do anyway.

If Australia had been hit worse, it would be your concern because it would burden the whole healthcare system. Many places have been running out of ICU space because Covid patients have filled them up. Finland wasn't affected that catastrophically either, but because of Covid, folks did get their less urgent treatments postponed regularly. The more people refuse vaccination, the slower things return to normal. It's also a problem in public healthcare countries that a vaccination costs nothing compared to having a person live in a hospital for a while, let alone in the ICU. In the USA a person pays it themselves (good luck with that) or their insurance company pays it, but over here, and many other European countries, the taxpayers pay the thousands of euros just because some blistering idiot doesn't want to get vaccinated on principle.
