As civilization has developed it has made humans more and more reliant on it. This can be seen for example in a growing dependence on agriculture as wild areas were domesticated. In regards to the idea of health a similar phenomenon is transpiring.

Perhaps there was a time when one had the means to live a healthy life within ones own means. A simple intuitive knowledge/instinct of how to treat ones ailments with that found in one's surroundings. Not only has access to these treatments been limited in the same manner as access to food, but the ailments, both what they are and how they affect us (their meaning) has changed.

If one wants to be healthy today the only option is to get the vaccine, and even then one will still fall short of this ideal. Irregardless of the severity of symptoms, the conditions of disease created by civilization, or its specific element mass society, creates a new terrain by which even if these old means were still around (and the case could be made they are still in some form such as homeopathy or herbalism) they would not be/aren't enough to deal with the problem.

In many ways I think covid and other diseases/plagues that have emerged due to civilized conditions (such as the organization of cities or now with global transport) represent the challenge that civilization poses. The only means by which covid can be combated is civilized means, "modern medicine", masks, vaccines etc. And yet it is the very production of these means that contribute to the conditions which have produced this crisis.

While the easy answer is to say that the removal of these conditions is the best way to combat these crisis, de-civilizing/de-massifying in order to combat future crisis however still leaves us with the current crisis of civilized diseases that have already proliferated. And this is applicable not only to the single issue of covid, but is then compounded by the multitude of crisis we find ourselves within, such as climate catastrophe, water pollution, decreased biodiversity etc.

And even if this were an easy answer the means by which to get there are not known, and may even be non-existent. While there are those who like to celebrate attack, whether through property destruction or violence directed towards humans, as effective, these acts, such as the destruction of some vaccines, are as symbolic as "non-violent" means in the grand scheme of things.

Ultimately if there is any question around the vaccine that any of us can meaningfully answer, since to state ones opposition to the vaccine or even just its mandates is ultimately a meaningless gesture, it is simply whether or not one will get the vaccine. And while systemically this is no more or less symbolic the the destruction of vaccines, or banners with nice slogans, it can perhaps change how we live our own lives in relation to these systems.
