    I keep seeing anti-vaxxers and the like accusing the other side of manufacturing hysteria and fear-mongering and then keep seeing shit like this... Oh the government wants to track us, we're losing our freedoms, this is just like the rise of the Nazi party... All over a health-care system that provides you a free vaccine for Covid... talk about fear-mongering.

    All valid points. They would probably be better received if the title of the tweet you used wasn't obviously lying...

    Sorry, but no. Obesity is a much more complicated problem that our government and current Healthcare system contribute to rather than trying to solve.

    Our government and Healthcare system have the solution for Covid-19. It takes a total of less than one hour over 7 months and is completely free.

    When government gets that serious about solving obesity it will no longer be a problem.

    Nope. The places where obese people can cause problems for the public are places where the extra weight is an issue for people that also use that function - like amusement park rides, small plane rides etc... - and there are limits for weight over there.

    If you want to show equivalency of treatment - user a correct one and you will realize that the same issues you unfairly rail against are already dealt with using the same kinds of "freedom restricting" laws - which means this argument is quite frankly, nonsense.

    Maybe I should write it clearly.

    If lockdown = elephant and
    Riding a motorcycle w/o helmet ban is a dog and
    Early(!) Hitler is a whale than

    Comparing a dog to an elephant is as fair as comparing an elephant to a whale.

    Also, some people, like crandc seem to assume that holocaust happend on some Tuesday night, while it actually took years of small steps that society agreed for, cos they where carefully maneged.
    History should be used for learning from it, not for crying and boostin your ego with how great human being you are by bravely doing what government says. Which is, btw, how communist and nazist came high - with proud people making statements about puking and being disgusted.
    Not mention those great ideas about putting non vaccinated people into the tents on parkings:)

    And the victory over Nazism came by people in this country (and others) giving up vastly, vastly more freedoms than getting a vaccine, for a longer period than the current pandemic.
    Knee-jerk "I won't do anything the government wants" is not freedom, it's just childishness.
    You don't regularly run red lights, even though government is forcing you to stop at intersections. If there was actually an anti-big-brother freedom principle involved, you'd be resisting everything, not just vaccines.

    My wife is a late-merger. I am not. Does that make me wrong?

    I'm going to go out on a limb here and say the Texas A&M bands masks weren't KN-95's
