From Aldous Huxley: “The greater part of the population is not very intelligent, dreads responsibility, and desires nothing better than to be told what to do. Provided the rulers do not interfere with its material comforts and its cherished beliefs, it is perfectly happy to let itself be ruled.”
This really does explain a great deal, at least about life in the United States.  As long as the masses can afford to live in some level of comfort, it is foolish of us to expect them or become political activists at any significant degree.

That said, it’s possible that the 2024 presidential election may present an interesting counter-example. As we sit here, 10 months away, we notice an incredible level of animus when it comes to Trump–even from members of his own party.  Traditional Republicans may be concerned that the GOP is rapidly establishing itself as a criminal enterprise, and thus untenable to their voting base.

It depends on what you mean by “happened.”

They were somewhere between 14 and 53 times more likely to die of the disease. I wouldn’t call drowning in one’s own puss and blood “nothing.”

Side Note: Being an anti-vaxxer is not a good look.  I don’t know a single guy who would come within 50 yards of this crackpot.
