But so many learned from Covid, it’ll be much harder to mandate this time. I think, anyway. I might have unreasonably high expectations of people, though.

One would hope it would be harder, but all they actually have to do is come up w/ something that actually IS deadly, esp if kids are most vulnerable. Look what they got away w/ using something no more deadly than the flu which mainly targeted the very infirm & elderly (same as regular flu), of zero consequence to children & younger people & a 99% survival rate for everybody anyway.
I probably had unreasonably high expectations until 2020, too. Could not believe how quickly / easily / meekly vast swathes of the country gave up their rights & freedom. So many wanted to work from home &/or get handouts for doing NOTHING. The whole thing was a travesty but now many are conditioned to it now.
I learned a lot about my fellow Americans during Covid. Unfortunately most of it was bad-
Amazing how many people willingly allowed their rights to be compromised..and how they vilified those of us willing to question the narrative. A third of the population, to make themselves feel grotesquely virtuous, wished another third would die unvaccinated, while the last third watched in silence.
Agree as well. When your own mom says you don’t deserve hospital care because you didn’t get vaccinated. Or when your twenty five year old daughter can’t finish her rotations or residency and is forced to take that poison and now will be starting her family soon….and it weighs heavily on you, or when you have to figure out how to NOT allow that to happen to your son when he joins the National Guard (and wait for a knock on your door but don’t care because it’s your son who is in the highest risk age range for myocarditis) or when your husband has to file a religious exemption to work for the feds and is only 1 of 2 people to do so and must be tested weekly……one never forgets nor will I ever forgive or allow this to happen to my family again. I only escaped for myself because I’m self employed but I was restricted as to where was allowed to go; no restaurants, public gathering places, gym etc.
Both of my 20-something sons were forced by employer (older son) & military (younger son) against their wills & that deeply angers me & weighs heavy on my heart too, Carol
The vilification was horrific. Bad enough when it’s from some politician or compromised doctor, but when it’s neighbors and friends and family - that was hard.

Agree, Pete. It was really traumatizing & im not over it yet. Don’t think I ever will be

Never. Again.

I am so very sorry. I understand that weight and will keep them in my prayers.
