You do not understand what vaccines do, obviously. You can still get Covid-19 if you have been vaccinated, but you will suffer far milder symptoms due to the vaccination.
The government is not "blindly pushing vaccinations". There is medical science backing up the decisions, but if you choose to ignore that, then you are simply "believing" something that isn't true.

In fact, they see the Westerners as too social.
Being vaccinated so you can socialize and work makes sense from a societal and logical point of view.
It's too bad that your parents are being foolish(ignoring reason, logic and science). They probably need the vaccine more than you do, as they are likely more at risk from Covid-19, being older. You can reduce the risk of catching Covid-19 by isolation, but unless they are in complete isolation, then it's likely that they will, eventually, get the disease. The disease does not give a fuck about yours or QatzelOk's beliefs.
