As more and more Americans are receiving a COVID-19 vaccination, the insufferable opinions on vaccines has only ramped up. Granted what we read on social media platforms are not necessarily indicative of the real world, it's no surprise that opinions on the vaccine are as polarizing as pretty much any political/social issue can be.
The main two groups consist of:
a) Condescending anti-vaxxers basically accusing vaccine recipients of being lab rats.
and
b) Virtual-Signaling vaccine recipients who imply they've got the market cornered on love & compassion because they took the shot(s) and thus are protecting the masses from catching a potentially deadly virus. They also condescendingly coo "I believe in science!"
As someone who believes in most vaccines but absolutely does not support them being mandatory, I can't decide whether group a) or group b) is more annoying. I guess I subscribe to the Henry Kissinger sentiments pertaining to the Iran/Iraq war in the late '70s/early '80s in that it's a shame they can't both lose.
