    Yes. This is exactly why it’s so infuriating. Idiotic and contrarian and selfish parents putting their own kids at risk over bullshit on the Internet, and now bullshit at the very height of our so-called government.

    Also putting other people at risk - people that are unable to get vaccinated for whatever reason.

    These should not even be problems that we are even having if we were properly propagating information to younger generations. It’s like some of the population is looking at great leaps forward in tech, in science, in morality, meanwhile, we have a huge set of people that just want to constantly drag things backwards.

    You can see this kind of diversion in humanity most keenly in things like responses to disease. Covid was an excellent example that brought this into sharp relief - you had people amazed at the moonshot of sequencing the genome of the virus in short order and developing a vaccine in record-setting time with new tech - mRNA vaccines. This was an outstanding example of humans achieving great things when they apply themselves.

    And on the other hand - you had Karens throwing riots over not being able to go to church or restaurants. Over masks. And finally, over getting the vaccine. Also, many of them really want to put Fauci to death.

    The response to measles is nearly as bad - this is something that was basically a solved problem. No moonshot necessary; it was solved decades ago. But nooooo - the regressives cannot have that.
