have the luxury of being so far removed from the horrific impact of these preventable virus’ that they decide vaccines should be optional because… “Don’t tell me what to do, science nerds”
I remember some science-based podcasts talking how many vaccines are victims of their own success (this was the mid-00s when some of the Andrew Wakefield bullshit started getting visible traction with morons). Sure, a small percentage of people, if herd immunity remains high enough because everyone ELSE does the right thing, can opt out of vaccines and see no harm. If that number drops below a certain percentage, though, watch the fuck out, because people are going to get hurt and/or die.
Another place we can see this right now is the way people treat government - it’s essentially invisible when it’s working properly, hence it’s easy to claim it doesn’t do anything for you…
I see idiotic companies treat infrastructure like IT the same way - the money people start asking why they are paying for staff they don’t hear from, start trying to make cuts. And things might be okay…for a while. Until things aren’t. Often, the seagull managers that made such brilliant decisions have skated on out of there. If something catches fire before then, they are easily in a position where they can deflect blame onto others.
