So, how many lives would you consider an acceptable loss in the name of
respecting people's freedom of choice? How many deaths would be necessary
before you would change your opinion and accept forced vaccinations?
A hundred? A thousand? A million? How many would you sacrifice?

I don't even understand how you can completely reverse the notion of
saving the lives of millions of people into the notion of putting lives
at risk. That's completely backwards.
