> I literally did not say that vaccine and vaccine adoption has anything to do with unions. Why would you ever think I did? It's an analogy.

???

> we don't need unions anymore are engaging with the status quo in the same way as people who say we don't need vaccines anymore.

> If you can't understand why I am comparing anti-union with anti-vax, then I think you don't really understand the point I am making about history, or about culture.

If you want to remove vaccines and these analogies that's fine but you're clearly doing something you're claiming you are not.

It's an analogy. In that sentence I'm not saying that one has to do with the other.

I am talking there about the relationship of people arguing against a concept with the status quo for that respective concept.

The way those arguments are made is similarly ignorant of history, is the simple point.

It's not that difficult. Really. Other people grasped it.
