The main argument from the Freedom Convoy is that truckers that have chosen not be vaccinated have to face more restrictions and quarantine periods. If truckers are vaccinated this does not apply. Therefore, the simplest solution would be to get vaccinated right? Wrong.
We are living in a world these days where there is thinking that personal rights and freedoms overrule responsibilities as a human being. And that is the core of the matter.
Rights Vs Responsibilities
My right and personal freedom overrule my responsibility towards other humans. A choice to remain unvaccinated means my freedom is more important than the possibility (or responsibility) of infecting others.
Rights are overruling Responsibilities.
Its disturbing that a fringe right element has decided that personal freedoms overrule being a responsible human being.
And of course, the news is jumping all over this because Canada is not known for extreme right-wing actions.
Rights Vs Responsibilities (towards your fellow humans) will always be at the core of a just, fair, and safe society.
My right to remain unvaccinated
My right to bear arms
My right to make billions of dollars
My right to invade another country
My right to say whatever I want on social media
My right to create a blockade and infect people
Who helps us make sure we are responsible citizens? Governments? Yes.
