The benefits outweigh the risks - Really?

Two years later we are still in a pandemic. All of 2020 and 2021. The WHO, CDC, politicians, and media have been pushing all these mandates to us regular people for two years now. Forced shutdowns, stay at home orders, mask mandates, and injection mandates to adults & now children. Do all of these things, or lose your job at any given time in the last two years. But why the force? Why can't we as individual sovereign people make our own choices? What if some of us bit the bullet and went along for a while.. got the jab... but now suffer adverse reactions to the jab? Can we get a reprieve to figure out our own next steps? The writing is on the wall... boosters are the next mandate... do this, or again, lose your job, benefits, blah blah blah.... It seems to me that companies are taking advantage of the pandemic to strip benefits and save themselves some money so they don't have to continue to incur these costs. I call bad form! Scar us, then injur us, and then strip our jobs and benefits after we were injured from your mandates? What kind of world are we living in anyways? Who are these people making the decisions? People who we used to know. That's who... and WHO. And CDC, and politicians, and media. *sigh* Guess I will have to roll up my sleeve again at some point... possibly suffer more adverse reactions... because the benefits outweigh the risks. Really?
