I am open to hearing a coherent description of the specific "cost to freedom" of taking one of the widely available COVID vaccines.

It's been a year this approach has been claimed.

Time to roll up sleeves for your civic duty.

As in most such trade-offs, the "cost to freedom" and "infringing of rights", to the extent they actually exist, factor into the cost/benefit decision of whether or not to ultimately go through with the mandate

since everybody has their own opinion on where that balance is, there will always be individuals unhappy with what decision makers decide
