MIT professor emeritus and political activist Noam Chomsky said he believes that while unvaccinated people have the right to refuse a COVID jab, they should “have the decency to isolate” from the community for the safety of others.
Chomsky was asked in an interview whether the COVID vaccine should be required when he made the remark. A clip of his response has garnered 1.9 million views on Twitter and been met with mixed reactions.
“People who refuse to accept vaccines, I think the right response for them is not to force them to, but rather to insist that they be isolated. If people decide, ‘I am willing to be a danger to the community by refusing to vaccinate,’ they should say then, ‘Well, I also have the decency to isolate myself. I don’t want a vaccine, but I don’t have the right to run around harming people.’ That should be a convention,” said Chomsky.
“Enforcing is a different question. It should be understood, and we should try to get it to be understood. If it really reaches the point where they are severely endangering people, then of course you have to do something about it,” he added.
Speaking on YouTube’s Primo Radical on Oct. 24, Chomsky said that for the unvaccinated people who are segregated from society, how they obtain groceries should be left up to them. “How can we get food to them?” asked Chomsky. “Well, that’s actually their problem.”
The 92-year-old scholar compared the refusal to get vaccinated to people who refuse to obey traffic rules.

Sorry ‘bout that!
ADE-ridden superspreaders.
*see Israel
Noam Chomsky should do us a solid and just remove himself from society.
How am I an “ADE-ridden superspreader,” FRiend?
Are you a plural?
No sweat!!
Who cares what this stain thinks and why isn’t he a stain?
Chomsky is an ideological tyrant loving turd, and Buckley is a national, logical, and intellectual treasure! Watching that scummy weasel Chomsky’s tactics in that video tells everything you need to know about him.
Please come remove me. I have a vote.
Noam needs to be careful what he wishes for, lest he gets it...personally. The old man needs to wise up on certain things. With respect to the vaccine, he doesn’t seem to differentiate between those who have successfully recovered from the virus & those who haven’t. To the best of my knowledge those who have recovered from Covid have the best safeguard of all. Is Noam too old to get educated? I am saying this as an old ( but not yet senile) man myself.
