If the anti-vaxxers stormed the beaches of Normandy

Getting vaccinated is a patriotic act. It protects you, it protects your neighbors, it protects your workplace. It protects other vulnerable Americans.

There have been 1.2 billion doses given worldwide with perhaps three deaths directly linked to blood clots. There are also some other rare but nonfatal adverse reactions. And, we know how to detect and treat much of that now.

So that's like being the 1,200,000,000th soldier to leave the landing crafts during the Normandy invasion and refusing to attack because you heard of three ahead who were killed and a handful injured. Three out of 1.2 billion. That's what this is, refusal to perform one's duty because of prioritizing personal freedoms enjoyed in the past higher than a national emergency in the present which threatens those very same freedoms for all.

The Greatest Generation this is not.
