Adults realize what unchecked authority is like, and that this isn’t it.

They also realize that a global pandemic has left no country untouched, and even enemies are desperate for vaccination.

Finally, adults realize what a privileged position we’re in and that insisting rights are being trampled (whose rights?) doesn’t make it so

Except it has affected many.

Still a scary disease.
