With an ability to reach that long, you should be a boxer or basketball player.
Everything in this life is a compromise, a finding of balance between trade offs. I'm not about to support mandating that teenagers get a novel medical treatment. There are risks. You can cite whatever studies you want telling me it's safe, it does not matter. We are still finding new side effects of these vaccines. The trend has not plateaued, or dropped off, which implies that there may be more to be discovered in the future.
There are countless ways we can reduce the death, suffering, and pain in this world, but we must balance them against the ideals we have of personal freedom, responsibility, and trust. You would save more lives making breathalyzer lockouts mandatory in all new cars, or outlawing consumption of alcohol in restaurants and bars. You would save more lives by outlawing cigarettes nationwide. You would save more lives by outlawing backyard swimming pools. But these are not battles against your perceived political enemies on the internet, so you say nothing. You wait until some crazy anti-science (probably right-wing) nutjob posts in a covid thread that maybe we're moving a bit too fast on things, and you leap to accusations of cleaning the gene pool.
