If you think about moving to Switzerland because we are such a free and democratic country, just know that we have regions were you can get up to CHF 100'000 fines for not taking the jab and politicians who call this "freedom of choice". Don't wanna take the jab? Just pay a fine of CHF 20'000, we don't have obligatory jabs here 🤡!

The risk of getting infected by viruses is and was part of life on this planet since the beginning of time. What is worse: A: directly, willingly, without consent, infecting another being by jabbing them with a lucrative product that neither you nor them fully understand, nor it's consequence B: the low chance of indirectly, unknowingly, unwillingly infecting someone with something that has been part of our lifes since the creation of life itself Maybe the missing part in your logic, is that the virus is an infection, but the jab isn't. In reality both are. Now if it comes to evaluating the risk behind both, what it truly comes down to is if you trust in god, life and nature, or in the state, corporations and politicians. This is not a question about health, this is a question about believe.

Even though I think vaccines are clearly an incredible achievement for humanity, I really understand this way of seeing things. I also think Swiss laws are quite understanding of anti-vaccine ideology. That’s why there’s no forced vaccination (and thankfully so). Simply not being vaccinated increases the risk for others as well as healthcare costs, which are paid for by everyone. So, it makes sense that there’s a fine. The system seems fair enough: you have the right to oppose vaccination and not get vaccinated, but you bear the consequences by paying for the cost it impose to the society.
Either the vaccine works or it doesn’t. If it doesn’t work, there’s obviously no reason to take it (let alone coerce others into doing so) If it does work and you take it, no need to worry about what others do because you’re protected, right? In either case, coercion is not only immoral - it’s also nonsensical.

There are two things: First, a vaccine is never 100% effective, so not getting vaccinated also puts vaccinated people at risk. Also, in Switzerland, whether we like it or not, there is a social healthcare system, so the healthcare costs of unvaccinated people are paid for by society as a whole. I think everyone should bear their own healthcare costs, but until that is the case, it makes sense that people who have chosen not to be vaccinated should bear the cost of their choice.
