That’s a good analogy. Both have to do with public health and safety.
Most of the people opposed to getting the vaccine seem to be arguing (falsely) that COVID isn’t really that serious (no worse than the flu) or they promote some debunked conspiracy about the vaccine itself. I don’t hear many arguing from a “personal freedom” standpoint, but even that argument would be silly. It’d be like arguing that one shouldn’t have to stop at red lights because it infringes upon their freedom. We really are all in this together, and it’s irresponsible to not get vaccinated if you are eligible and don’t have a valid medical reason to not get vaccinated.
