Nah, I'll have to disagree with you about that. I forget where I first saw it, but it was during the Obama admin that I first saw people freaking out about anti-vaxxers and their kids being allowed to go to public schools. After the freak-out that happened with the Covid vaccine, I honestly wondered if that stuff I saw back then was all part of a psy-op to get people to go along with vaccine mandates in the lead-up to that one.

Vaguely recall the H1N1 Flu Scare as a kid in the late 2000s, yeah.

Don't remember much vaccine-pushing (albeit, probably because I was a little kid), but there were definitely announcements from my teachers and lots of PSAs about hand-washing on TV. Had no problem observing those, though given how much the curtain has been "pulled back" these days, there are times when like you, I also wonder just how long-running and planned-out-in-advance the government's response was. Longer than any of us would like, I suspect, which lends credence to the idea the Western elites were ultimately no less evil than their Nazi or Communist rivals — merely more patient, as well as economically literate enough to keep their system going long after the other two had burned themselves out. :oops:

Their concern was with herd immunity, and protecting those who are unable to get vaccines.

They wanted most of the herd to be immune so that those who couldn't get vaccinated were protected due to everyone around them being immune.

Which is a legitimate concern. I don't agree with forced vaccinated, but I can see where they're coming from at least.

With covid, already vaccinated people were scared of catching covid off non vaccinated people. Which doesn't make sense if the vaccine actually worked. And doesn't make sense if it doesn't work, either. Because if it worked, you have nothing to fear, and if it doesn't work, then it doesn't matter if others are vaccinated.

I guess I heard a lot of the same rhetoric, including the "we have to protect the people who can't be vaccinated," even though ironically they then switched to demanding even people who they know for certain would be harmed by the vaccine still take it.
