The sad humour of it all. A relatively small percentage of people who have concerns about vaccines are being used by well-organized white supremacists, who want to break up the country, probably funded by big oil money (though we don’t know because so many donations are anonymous), and who would happily take away the freedom of the vast majority want to go to work, visit family, go to school, and, go out for diner and a show, without increased infection risk.
This is fundamentally an issue of how we keep our community safe. It is not about freedom for the few to engage in anti-social behaviour, but the freedom for most people to go about their regular lives without undue fear. We make these decisions every day when we create laws. We have used vaccine mandates successfully for many decades as one way to keep society safe.
Actually, it is not humorous. White supremacists, see the KKK cross in many depictions praising the truck convoy, are high-jacking the vaccine debate for profoundly self-interested reasons. It is destructive to the country and people’s right to safety.
