The vaccine debate is so stupid. It's a scientific question but it gets polarized because of people's pre-existing political / tribal loyalties which is completely irrational. In fact, the earliest people who were warning about the pandemic when it was beginning to spread (but before people were masking) were survivalist libertarian types, while it was the liberals who were downplaying it (odd thing), but once it actually kicked off then those same libertarians became vaccine skeptics, even though vaccines from a deadly disease are actually good from a survival standpoint.

I distinctly remember this. Kamala Harris was saying she wouldn't trust any Trump vaccine. This was like December-January 2020 during that weird liminal period when COVID was spreading but before lockdowns began. Then once the lockdowns happened people flipped to completely opposite positions from what they had weeks before.
