COVID vaccines aren't eligible for the VICP and have a laundry list of horrific side-effects, that's plenty of reason for any reasonable person.

You can say the same about fat people, smokers, drinkers, and all other people who take unnecessary risks of any kind. They're all burdens on the healthcare system that reduce access and affordability for everyone else.

They cannot kill someone by walking by them in a grocery store.

This kind of hyperbole really damages the debate.

A “laundry list of horrific side-effects” sounds like there are known long-term problems that result from getting the vaccine.

This is simply not the case. There is a list of side effects, but it’s not long, and no reasonable person should consider them to be ‘horrific’.
