Good post. There is the bigger picture of the herd dynamics at play, majorly driven by instincts rather than rational thinking. And then there’s plenty of lemmings.
It’s an interesting time for sociology research and ‘history repeats itself’.


I am vaccinated, but thought long and hard about it.
In the end the vaccine has no downsides (and other than some disease-attenuation, no world-changing upsides either). In the big social picture, pretty similar to a Flu shot, actually.
I consider it more of a good-will gesture (agreeing to be a mensch).
I don’t think it curtails my freedom to show that meaningless paper card. It’s like a donation or ‘I voted’ badge.

What I object to is people weaponizing the issue for their own personal agenda.

So I reserve my fights for Slowman (Just kidding) or other more insidious approaches to curtail my freedom.
