Sadly, the near manic push for mandates in this instance has done..


.. unspeakable damage to the existing childhood vaccination program. Now, you might say, as some do, that that program itself had gotten bloated beyond what it should rightfully have been... (Measles, mumps, polio, meningitis... Coupla more, okay, seems pretty clear... but you can have arguments about some of the others).. but the current covid mandate effort, and the intentional hate, anger, and brow beating that were spun up to go along with it, has created an entire legion of new, legitimate (and proud to call themselves that) "anti-vaxxers" where only a tiny fringe element existed before. There have been polls recently asking people whether or not they identify as being anti-vax (meaning anti-vaccine as a general proposition and not just about covid), and the numbers have ballooned/skyrocketed.

Government's approach on this was very very ill-advised, it is having many unintended consequences.... This being one of them
