The reality is too many Americans too much about their "freedoms" instead of actually caring about other people's health and safety. They only care about it if it directly impacts them.
My point was that evil dictators in the past have used the safety of the people as a reason for some pretty terrible stuff. Nazi Germany was convinced that by eradicating the Jews they were doing what was best for the people and financial security. It was safer without the Jews.
No, I’m not saying the vaccine is like genocide, just saying “we should disregard freedoms to do X for the safety of the people” has been problematic before.
