The childish vaccine ‘outrage’ is the inevitable result of several generations in which only handfuls of Americans were asked to do anything at all for the common good. Being a good neighbor requires doing good for your neighbors. Like muscle memory, you have to do something.

Meanwhile everyone is told community is bad & screw them drive faster in your bigger cars & act like no one matters but you in that and every moment. We are the inevitable result of a consumer-is-always-right society. Who freak when asked to get a vaccine for ‘public health’

For literally millions and millions of Americans, the vaccine campaign is the first time they’ve been asked to consider the common good. And they can’t. Or won’t.

1. Not since WWII, when people were asked to contribute to the common good and

everybody did something.

2. They are not considering any good whatsoever.. only death.

They are part of a death cult.

3. Republicans are quick to proclaim that soldiers died so that WE could be free, but...

.... seem to think that WE don't have to sacrifice anything at all for the Americans that will come after us.

They are a selfish lot.

4. The common good is funded by taxes

It’s an investment in the future, not a grab of “your money”. This battle has been going on a long time. Reagan, property tax limits, etc.
