This is terrifying, but not unexpected. As I watch the daily, hourly drumbeat of GET VACCINATED hysteria on TV and in the public arena, it all looks like a "1984" style propaganda using every damned trick in the book.... celebrity endorsements, social acceptance, social duty, peer pressure, bribery, lotteries, free fast food... I' sure I've left something out, but it's profound what these people are pushing.
My wife and I fall into a very thin demographic of age/politics/education/income that makes us only about 2% of that demographic who have not been vaccinated. I've been expecting to see a die-off of my contemporaries due to the vaccines anyway, but this vid just puts it in stark terms.
I remember when the movie came out. I was a teenager, and definitely it wasn’t on my list.... even if I could have watched an R movie!!! Who was thinking about things like that when there was a cute boy somewhere? Ah, for the simplicity of being a teen back in the 80s.
That was a long way for me to say I know the general theme, but not the details. ;)
I believe that like Ayn Rand’s Fountainhead, it will change how I perceive the world. So. Ready or not......

Thinking I might have to read 1984 again.
I’m in a road trip- downloaded the audiobook to listen to on the road. I haven’t read it before- I think it is going to be painful
I'd tell you the gist of it but it's probably better you just experience it firsthand!
