During Covid, many of the Hackers in the infosec community supported government-mandated vaccination (this was what I saw through Twitter). I think this changed my view of activists and hackers after this.

It's authoritarian-minded people that don't want to listen to anyone (and want to force you to do what they want through hacking). When they get want they want, they don't care about trampling on the rights of or oppressing the people that disagree.

It’s shocking to me that people whose job is to find and fix vulnerabilities would support vaccinations!

I sure hope opposition to government-mandated infosec measures would be a complete nobrainer.

Microsoft lobbying for mandatory TPM to get on a network or whatever.

He did say "government mandated". It is perfectly possible to think people should have vaccinations (I did - and had them myself) without thinking the government should force them to have vaccinations.

My body, my choice. Shocking indeed.

It is your choice.
