Seems like there's two different ideas here: one is that the vaxxers are obedient to authority and not creative and the second is that it was dumb that some did it to keep their jobs and feed their families.
For the first one, you don't want a tribe with all chiefs. A group with all alphas would be chaos. You need some people who just want to play roles, but I get what you're saying.
For the second idea, I understand why people did it. Even though it sucked and it made things harder for those of us who didn't, I still get that not all of them had access to the info we did and in general just not everyone is discerning or high IQ. Doesn't necessarily mean they're bad though, as long as they didn't try to force their obedience on others.
That said, I don't wish I'll on them, but I agree with you - it was a bad decision all around, and one that I bet many people wish they could take back.
They didn't have access to the information? No. They had access to the same info all of us did. They chose the sewer pipe in their living room, the tell-a-vision. They chose to spend their time watching Netflix and shitty Marvel movies, then called us crazy when we tried to warn them, stood silently as their tribe tried to blackball us from society, then focused their energy on "standing for Ukraine.". Your version is making excuses for them, and revisionist history.
No way, dude, I know people, particularly older people, who came from an era in which the news at least somewhat attempted to relay facts, despite doing it in a biased way. Some of these people literally have no clue about a lot of the stuff that we knew week one. No clue as in never even having heard of the arguments against this stuff.
Definitely not excusing it as it's part of what brought our country to this point and it's a bad thing, but there's not necessarily a nefarious element in them. It's in the information controllers and authority figures that lead them to that state.
