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.

“Only the good die young”.
The Fake News media, politicians like Senile Joe and government hacks have led many people to believe falsely that the vaccine stops the spread of coronavirus. And then obnoxious narcissists like Chomsky see an opportunity to seem relevant by piling on.
Occasionally a vaccinated star athlete or celebrity will surface in the news with coronavirus but that is only a small blip in the narrative.
Is that all leftists do is try and order everyone around?
how come this asshole is still alive?

American Commies should off themselves to help cure Gorebal Warning.
Definitely. This guy has been an odious cancer on the intellectual life of the US for decades.
The unvaccinated as well as the vaccinated can get infected and transmit the virus. Both can transmit even though they have no symptoms or symptoms that would trigger taking precautions. The window of opportunity for the virus to be transmitted so it can infect is different from the unvaccinated and the vaccinated. The vaccinated will give the virus a shorter window of opportunity to transmit. The longer people are giving the virus the opportunity to transmit, the increased chances of a variant will emerge that is resistant to whatever immunity people have achieved. We are on a time clock.
Yes.
You and me both.
One thing for certain, over the past year we’ve been able to see who people really.
We need to discover just where Galt’s Gulch is located.
Well, we’ve known exactly what/who Noam Chomsky is, for decades
Hillary’s mentor, for one.
Certainly since 2008.
Noam Chomsky, the walking human bladder stone.
