At least they are both living in "the West" where only a few percent of the population are against vaccination (as far as I am aware). Try living in a country like mine where more than 70% are against vaccination, for the most lunatic reasons possible. The government has been doing a relatively competent job with rolling out the vaccines. There are vaccination centers on pretty much every street corner, but they are empty — two to three visitors per hour on a good day. The local social network groups are full of crackpot theories ("vaccines are reprogramming your brain", "it's all a part of the plan to eradicate the population", etc etc), and I hear similar sentiments offline all the time.
I reckon the more civilized societies are going to return to normal lives in the next few months to a year, while we'll keep filling hospitals and going from lockdown to lockdown for god knows how long. At least it should be entertaining to hear "them" explaining why we're still having problems — I can already hear the theories about Bill Gates poisoning our water supplies.
- jimsmart 5y ago> Try living in a country like mine where more than 70% are against vaccination If I may ask: which country is this?
- mrlonglong 5y agoIf I had to guess, it could be Russia. The majority don't trust their home brewed vaccine. I'd say according to the data I've seen they might be right. Maybe we should gift them some Pfizer vaccines!
