The quote is pretty self-explanatory. Anyone interested in the context can Google it, as you have.For the benefit of everyone, the context of the quote, which has very little to do with freedom but has been endlessly misquoted: https://www.google.com/amp/s/techcr...n-franklins-quote-on-liberty-vs-security/amp/
Other people’s decision on whether or not they undergo a medical procedure does not impact you. You have to perform your own cost/benefit analysis yourself. This is particularly relevant considering vaccines are not force fields - they do not prevent infection and they do not eliminate the risk of transmission, they’re designed to allow one to better fight a pathogen inside their own body. You should take the exact same safety precautions regardless of another person’s vaccination status. It is their body, not yours - it is incumbent on you to ensure your own safety. You are not entitled to make healthcare decisions on behalf of other people and force those decisions upon them. Human rights are individual rights, not collective rights. Once you violate individual rights, the collective doesn’t have any either.But people are not islands, forever isolated from anything or anyone else. Our actions impact others, and selfishly imperil others during pandemics, nullifying THEIR liberties. Rather, we are all part of an interdependent whole, dependent not only upon each other, but our entire ecosystem. Focusing solely on individual rights loses sight of the forest, the sky, the ocean, and our situatedness in the manifestation of life playing out over deep time... But think small if you must.
