I was talking to my 80+ mother about the covid vaccination, and of course, she was surprised that I'm not going to get it. She was saying how happy she is to be able to do so many things now that she has been vaccinated. I asked her why vaccinated people think people who don't want to be vaccinated should get the vaccination. She said it was to protect others. I said, "Why should vaccinated people care if others aren't vaccinated; they received the vaccination, so they are protected, right?". She didn't really have an answer. I said, "If some people want to swim at a beach where sharks are known to exist, and others don't want to swim there, why should those people care if others want to risk swimming at that beach?". Again, no answer, and she concluded by saying, "Well, we're not going to agree on this topic". The MSM's ability to sway people into this "it's for the protection of others", combined with their ability to make people think the government is doing them a great favor by "permitting them to go on with their lives after being vaccinated", is a pretty scary phenomena going on in our country!
