More of everyone will die. It's not just the anti-vax children, infants, eldery, chronic, or, the immunocompromised people who get it worse when herd immunity disappears. Vaccines are risk reducers, but it's not like they are perfect + the increased toll on the hospitals make more outbreaks bad for everyone.

It's one of the reasons the anti-vax movement never made any sense to me. Flat Earth is silly, but at least it's perfectly harmless, but anti-vax?

Just curious - it aligns closer to Denmark or Japan. Do you hold the same view of the regulations there?

If generally lower vaccination rates only impacted the unvaccinated, most folks wouldn't really care. I wish that were the case.

The sad part is that the overall participation or lack of it impacts everyone, including the vaccinated, those with health problems and so on.

Everyone will be affected.

Why not? It's not like they want elections. Either the MAGA voters or the MAGA king
