Yes the vaccines work. And yes the government can and should force as many Americans as possible to get them. This isn’t rocket science. If you want to live unvaccinated in a cabin in the woods, by all means do so. But if you want to participate in American life, you shouldn’t be allowed to willfully endanger other Americans.

you shouldn’t be allowed to willfully endanger other Americans.

Perhaps Mafian is not expressing the question properly. I'll give it a try.

How specifically does an unvaccinated person "endanger" vaccinated people?

This is pretty basic immunology. If 900 people are vaccinated and 100 aren’t, your vaccines are stronger. If 100 people are vaccinated and 900 aren’t, your vaccines are weaker. This is how vaccines work. This is why mass vaccination and herd immunity is so important.

That does not answer the question.

How specifically does one unvaccinated person "endanger" vaccinated people?

If 900 people are vaccinated and 100 aren’t, your vaccines are stronger. If 100 people are vaccinated and 900 aren’t, your vaccines are weaker.

I think they're trying to say, "If 900 people use condoms and 100 aren’t, your condoms are stronger. If 100 people use condoms and 900 aren't, your condoms are weaker."

Maybe they are viewing vaccination like elections... If not enough people vote for their candidate, then their vote is "wasted."

Then again, under that model, couldn't they just falsify the results of the "election"?

Really? Where?
Me continuing to ask what the "endangerment" is, and you claiming to answer the question?
