Will it be like when they launched a load of DDoS attacks against Sony, of which the only impact was annoying regular people and doing nothing to the company they were supposedly going after?

One positive is that they at least allow you to uninstall it.

Which I’ve just done because I didn’t even know it existed and it certainly didn’t show up in the Play Store at any point.

So your view is based purely on prejudice, rather than on fact?

Interesting parallel to an anti-vaxxer who refuses vaccines based on misinformation, rather than fact.

Another ridiculous analogy.

Keep going, maybe you might get to one that makes sense.

Do the vaccines work or not?

Because if they do, the unvaccinated are not a threat to you.

Ah, the classic “seatbelt analogy”. Everyone’s favourite vaccine analogy that makes zero sense if you actually just stop and think about it for a minute.

Here in the UK, during the first lockdown, social distancing and the like was adhered to do quite well. More so than the scientists and government expected. Mainly because it was simple instruction that didn’t stop you from going about your business when you needed to get your groceries.

And it’s not like anyone was forced

No, they were just told they couldn’t participate in society. But then when they realised that the messaging wasn’t working, they gave up on it.

If the vaccines completely stopped the virus spreading, this may have been a good point.

The thing that increased anti-vaxx sentiment and theories of the vaccines killing you or whatever, was governments around the world going full fash with them.

If you don’t take the vaccine, you can’t enter establishments, you can’t work, you’ll be denied healthcare ahead of someone who has been vaccinated, fined if you don’t take it (in the case of Germany) etc etc. If you want people to get vaccinated en masse, this is entirely the opposite way of doing it. It’s no surprise that there’s now been a decline in vaccine uptake in general.

That whole period when the vaccines first came out and the governmental coercion has actively damaged public health messaging for the foreseeable future.
