Reasonable

“Should the insane, stupid people who refuse to be vaccinated be sent to concentration camps to protect the responsible citizens from infection?”
“I thought the point of the vaccines was the vaccines protected us.”
“It’s complicated. So anyway in the interests of public health should the unvaccinated be sent to concentration camps?”
“Maybe, but it’s just that concentration camps doesn’t have the nicest connotations. Could we not call them something a bit more pleasant?”
“Ok, should the unvaccinated, who are clearly enemies of the people, be sent to safety camps to protect the state and its honest citizens?”
“Yeah, I suppose that sounds reasonable. But come to think of it could we not just forcibly vaccinate them?”
“If they are choosing to be unvaccinated, then not just physically but also mentally they are clearly enemies of the state, they are not bowing down to our authority; and so it’s better to remove them from view altogether. Otherwise ideologically they would be spreading harm, and damaging public trust in our system.”


Obviously that dialogue above is just a wild fantasy that could never happen in a million years - or at least for a few months.
