Imagine a giant jar of one billion M&Ms and the government insists that every man, woman and child in the US needs to reach inside and eat 2 of them but .05% (500,000) of the M&Ms are laced with a fatal amount of cyanide, would you still be willing even eat just one? How about 2? Or 3? Or continue to eat one every 6 months if the government insists it’s necessary for the common good and welfare of the nation?

Good analogy.

I like the one with a table full of revolvers, one of which is loaded with one shot. Then you get to play russian roulette.

The government is telling us that half of the M&Ms are tainted with Covid-19, but if we are vaccinated we can eat as many as we want. If unvaccinated, we dare not try eating even one.
