Tennessee woman arrested for speeding through COVID-19 vaccination tent in protest, authorities say - ABC News

Tennessee woman arrested for speeding through COVID-19 vaccination tent in protest, authorities say - ABC News: A Tennessee woman was arrested this week after authorities say she drove her SUV through a COVID-19 vaccination tent, nearly hitting people while yelling "no vaccine."

She, and people like her, are a danger to society at large  People who are educated vaccinate, because younger populations, and immunocompromised populations can't.  She's a danger because vaccines are necessary to eradicate dangerous viruses, but are not 100% effective, so you need to vaccinate as many as possible to attain "herd immunity." Vaccination is important to prevent more transmissible and lethal variants from gaining a foothold.  Vaccination is important because there are physical fates, just as bad as death, such as suffering in a hospital, and long-term suffering(COVID Long-Haul.)  People who don't get the COVID vaccine aren't the main ones who suffer.  One non-vaccinated superspreader can start another pandemic.  I have read hundreds(literally and not hyperbolically speaking,) of medicallly/scientifically sourced(JAMA, AMA,etc)articles since the beginning of this pandemic. I have read op-eds by epidemiologists and front-line nurses.  COVID is something that only can be controlled if enough people care about other people to vaccinate and mask.  80% of epidemiologists polled believe it's too early to unmask. I trust epidemiologists more than the CDC(which has already proved itself medically unsound at least two times during the pandemic.)  I trust nurses who are on the frontline(the largest nurses' union is against unmasking at this time.) I believe in medical science.  SARS-CoV-2 should never have become a political subject.  Immunization, masking, and social distancing should never be subjected to political debate as they are not political subjects and thusly aren't open to political debate. Those medically well-versed should be able to mandate public rules for prevention and treatment of zoonotic viruses.
