> Whilst thousands of healthcare workers in the US —- those who are supposed to be proponents of public health measures and rational, scientific thinking - refuse to get vaccinated [...] These people were considered heroes last year (and overwhelmingly exposed to this virus while everyone else stayed at home). Now their judgment is in question because they won't follow the herd, with all of their medical experience/expertise being rejected or discredited. The inconsistency is a work of art. Everyone should read this: https://www.amazon.com/Rape-Mind-Psychology-Menticide-Brainwashing/dp/1614277877 https://www.amazon.com/Rape-Mind-Psychology-Menticide-Brainw... — you will find an alarming number of parallels to our current situation.

If they infect their patients or die from a preventable cause from their patients they are not heroes, they're just dumb.

"Hero" and "Good decision-maker" aren't covariant signals. Most footsoldiers who die in a war are considered heroes, and people can consider them that without holding in their heads at the same time the idea those soldiers would have made good generals.

Your comment is based on the same strategies as the headlines and the book talks about. Define "These people". Hasty Generalization. "These people" don't move in unison like a school of fish, and every good faith reader knows that. There's no inconsistency.

  These people = doctors, nurses, etc (medical professionals). It's not a "hasty generalization."

    > These people were considered heroes last year > Now their judgment is in question > These people = doctors, nurses, etc (medical professionals). Those professions were considered heroic, not every single person individually. Yes, many that served those positions well were individually celebrated too. The ones that didn't, and there were plenty, had their judgment heavily questioned, even last year. Drawing conclusions about an individual based on a broad category they happen to fall into is "hasty generalization", by the book.
