    Back during Covid 1.0, the same people who said they didn’t trust vaccines and knew better than doctors were in emergency rooms being put on respirators because Covid had destroyed their lung function.

    It’s interesting how a person’s take on modern medicine gets completely reorganized when they’re not able to breathe.

      “I don’t care until I’m affected” is what many people’s mindset is.

      You’re giving far too much credit. My daughter was a nurse during covid. Once they got covid tests she’d tell patients and loved ones they tested positive and they’d argue with her that covid wasn’t real. They’d watch their loved ones die and claim it was made up.

      This is a defining feature of conservatives. Just look at how Ayn Rand had no issue accepting Medicare and Social Security once she was old enough. They have no actual ideals or values.
