While many don't care until it affects them, that is not even close to universally true.

I was surprised at the number of people who didn't care, and it seems to be about 50%, but characterizing everyone that way is incredibly unfair to all the people who worked tirelessly to try to convince people to get the vaccine.

By telling them the president has lost his patience like a grumpy pater familias scolding children. That’s paternalism right there.

If the self righteous cared about peoples lives instead of pushing people with relatively lower risk to get a vaccine they would have sent those vaccines to the third world to vaccinate the vulnerable there.

Instead the WHO complained in early 2021 that we gave our vulnerable a double dose

In the summer of 2021 WHO complained when we vaccinating our healthy young

In the fall of 2021, the WHO was shocked when we rolled out boosters

By now, the WHO has given up complaining about booster boosters. Instead its become evident that the people working relentlessly to vaccinate everyone are driven by fear of, not concern for, their neighbor

Lots of judgement unsupported by your own facts.

Or both.
