I'm not sure how to cleverly structure this point but 30 to 40% of the country being anti-vaccine was known from the start so the fact that about that percent is and will remain unvaccinated is literally not a surprise at all

I guess there's not much point bringing this up because it's not like any of us could have done anything about this, but still very surprised-pikachu that the exact thing we said was guaranteed to happen about 8 months ago in fact ended up happening

    For a lot of people, surprise is an expression of moral judgement, not probability.

    And those people suck. But I don't want to write a giant rant right now, so I'll leave it at that.

      Yeah I understand, it was kind of rhetorical question. Factually I'm not surprised either, but I still can't help but be disappointed that my most cynical imagining ended up being the correct one
