Putting up with stupid shit like this is what got us in this situation. If the grownups just decided that it was an appropriate role for government to protect citizens from morons who refuse to vaccinate we would be only slightly less “free” and returning to the stability of the pre-MAGA status quo. But no, we let eating horse paste and demonizing Fauci become normalized. It’s all stupid and crazy and the overarching reason why we are circling the drain as a nation.
It’s unclear how to protect against legions of stupid people enthralled by propaganda, but vaccine science would have been a pretty effective and arguably non-political wedge against the damage.
