If you are referring to refusing Covid vaccination, be aware its main side effects are...

  1. You become less likely to get Covid
  2. You are therefore less likely to infect others, such as the vulnerable, immunocompromised, elderly etc
  3. If you do get it, you are less likely to need hospitalised
  4. If hospitalised, you are less likely to end up in ITU
  5. Whether in ITU or not, you are less likely to die of it
  6. Once "over" covid, you are less likely to experience "long covid
  7. Statistically, if injected, you have a 2 in 1 million chance of an adverse reaction, clot etc - a LOT less than the likelihood of dying from not being vaccinated!

This is what happens when your government is owner/operator of your health care and your news.

...is proof enough that they didn't work hard for the money spent. The money flows free from such hands and is, therefore, easily swindled.

This is a good argument to limit immigration. We are a western culture. What we value, the ways we practice those values, and how we communicate are not guaranteed to be compatible with other systems. Allowing time for immigrants to acclimate and assimilate is necessary if we are to preserve who we are and minimize and contain situations like this. Thanks for posting this! You said it better than I could have.
