To answer your question, I'm more against the authoritarian and propaganda aspect of it myself. Even on top of that the censorship if discussion. Let the people be educated and balance risk themselves without coercion or false information.

Do I think they are risky on the short term? No. Long term, we just don't know. A lot of the risks I see decrease with age (potential reproductive issues for example) so maybe the risk curve is much less for an older person, because they are at lower risk for complications and higher risk for virus issues.

Stifling discussion and threatening everyone with loss of job, liberty, etc is not the way to go.
