We here in the states have no stomach for communal efforts because 'freedom'. Today, I read a first-person account of a woman who nearly died of COVID (as did her husband) who proudly stated her intent to never take any of the vaccines, because they might be dangerous. According to her, the husband had a similar experience and felt the same about the vaccines. She spoke with true pride.
Then there are the healthcare workers who won't take it either. Several of my wife's coworkers simply refuse, even knowing that the risk is very high for them. Like the aforementioned couple, they are captive to ideology.
This is one case where the RW Israelis seem to have the right approach: issue COVID Green Cards to the vaccinated, and make a wide variety of social events open only to those holding a card. I would prefer other options, but this seems to be emerging default here, though no one will admit it.
Intelligence is not knowledge and knowledge is not wisdom, but they all play well together.
