    Yeah, I don’t understand it either. Immunization has always been such a huge benefit, such a huge return on investment, such a huge positive, that I just don’t understand how even the most self-serving, manipulative liar with no morals would try to cut it

      So far as I can gather, it all comes down to vaccine hesitancy. The (dis)information coming down the line has led to some people calling themselves “Pure Bloods” in recognition of their common unvaccinated status, with the belief that there’s some kind of high-handed conspiracy to monkey with people’s DNA via immunization shots. It’s a bit of a headfull, and makes for weird reading, but they’ve really dug their heels in about the issue, believing that their lives are on the line ironically enough. This is going to be one complicated ball of yarn to untangle…
