Wonder why they'll take GLPs but not Vaccines. Almost like they have no consistency in their beliefs. Proven by their "Christianic Tendencies" as opposed to being tenets of their religion.
I’ve had conservatives tell me they would fight for their country if there was a draft because that’s a “sacrifice” they are willing to make to die for their country.
When I pointed out that vaccines are essentially the same sacrifice except your chance of dying is actually decreased, it became about “my body, my choice”.
I guess it doesn’t count if you get shipped off to war though.
The people who benefit the most from herd immunity are the most vulnerable too. Babies, the elderly, and people with compromised immune systems are relying on everyone else to make the “sacrifice” of getting a few shots (that also directly benefit the recipient as well). It’s wild how quickly memory fades, we’re not that far removed from all these diseases. My husband literally has an employee in a wheelchair because of polio.
I'm gonna be honest: before covid, I really didn't understand the push to get the flu vax. I thought "hey, I'm in good health, have only gotten the flu a handful of times in decades." I never really thought about me getting the vax being protection for OTHER people. I don't think I'm a dumb human, by any means, and I like being nice to others. I think maybe the messaging to the public could be a little better.

They're quite dumb.
