Today we are faced with a stark choice - there are friends, colleagues and neighbours who have made the legal, at least for now, choice to not accept a vaccination or who have opposing views on government control of our lives.  This is not about the right or wrong or vaccinations or mandates.  This is about maintaining the fabric of our society, which is the relationships that include those with whom we disagree, have different medical opinions and those with whom we have pre-covid relationships.  Our society has the potential to degrade into an us and them - a victim mentality driven & responsibility assigning orientation that assumes the pandemic and the consequences are driven by someone else's actions and therefore I am oppressed and not responsible.  That is a very dangerous place and establishes potential permanent gaps in our society, ones that we may not be able to bridge in the future.  In Canada, an estimated 1.2 million voting age adults have chosen not to accept a vaccine.  Do we really want to label them as contributing too our problems and pariahs to society?  That doesn't end well, ever.
