When I remember your posts, the facts don't appear to have be rewritten all that substantially. One poster has been vaccinated against Covid-19 and lives in a country where personal freedom is pretty much a part of the collective Weltanschauung.
You seem to have no compunction about playing the immunocompromised card when suggesting how even vaccinated people should continue wearing masks in public. Then there was your post which as near I as could tell, suggested that everyone should be vaccinated for every disease regardless of their personal beliefs. Then we read a message suggesting that a poster implied that immunocompromised people should be considered dispensable. I think the phrase "not vanishingly rare unicorns and therefore dispensable" was your wording.
As far as I can tell, in Canada, immunocompromised people were in the priority queue for vaccination but they are still warned to wear masks in public, wash their hands, stay home as much as possible, etc.. Basically not all that different from the flu season recommendations.
And then we seem to have the odd beliefs about what herd immunity is. Last time I looked, all it is is the point at which the R value drops below 1. This may keep a disease from becoming an epidemic but it does not miraculously grant the unvaccinated immunity. A number much beloved by politicians who likely would not know the difference between R, Rₑ, and Rₜ nor be concerned about those differences.
