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.

This guy is still wasting oxygen?
Really what?
Still alive at 92 years. Only the good die young!
I was most surprised to see that he’s still alive.
Not at all by what he said.
I’ve been saying it for over 5 years now and every year it becomes more and more obvious. Yet many still can not see it.
‘Are’
😂😂
That guy looks like he just lost about 50% of his IQ.
Funny
I’ve been suggesting the same to liberals for decades
Undergraduates have been lapping up his nonsense for decades. Whatever minor contribution he might have made decades ago to linguistics can’t make up for all of the foolish and downright evil that he’s spread.

He’s talking, of course, about the new untermenschen.
Arm yourselves.
He still around?
Pity.
My younger daughter and her husband (both vaccinated) have Covid (mild cases). Two, weeks ago, their unvaccinated sons had it (mild cases) and are now back in school. For people in good-to-moderate health under the age of 50, the Covid survival rate is something like 99.995% Even amongst elderly, high-risk groups it’s something like 96% Yet they treat it like the Black Plague.
192-year-old man wants society inconvenienced for him.
Chomsky should remove itself before it infects any
other innocent minds, I don’t care how.
Agree.
Perhaps the unvaxxed will go Galt and take the non boosters with them....
WWG1WGA,
So very true. What you think you have can be removed in an instant.
