When you were in your 20's, would you have taken the Covid vaccination?

I’m a boomer and I can state categorically that if Covid had been around in the 70’s that me and most of my generation would’ve lined up to get vaccinated!

In the 80’s when Aids first appeared, we would’ve jumped at a vaccine.

In the 50’s when we were children we lined up for Polio shots and we didn’t give it a second thought. Our parents didn’t hesitate when it came to vaccines.

It’s only the past twenty years where there’s this ignorant based distrust of science.

Also, our public education system was far better than it is now. I think that plays a role here with young people and their resistance to vaccines even in the face of possible death.

Finally, society was much more civil and cohesive then than these days where far too many people have no idea what posterity is or care about the greater good!
