The Progressive Left's Cruelty Toward the Unvaccinated Will Hurt All of Us

 In America, our hatred for others has grown exponentially over the past two years. We are especially intolerant of those who think differently from us, who have different ideas about what is right and just. But perhaps no other topic has illuminated this vitriol as the the question of vaccines and whether they're safe. Many on the left despise the unvaccinated, who they call "anti-vaxxers," when in reality people who truly oppose vaccines are very small in number. Most of the unvaccinated are actually just "vaccine hesitant," but given the progressive left's intolerance for nuance, it's simpler to refer to them as "anti-vaxxers" and blame them for the continuation of the pandemic and call them "stupid." Other than the fact that this is just cruel and ugly behavior, the problem is that, if you really think more people need to be vaccinated, calling them "stupid" isn't going to shift their opinion. But education might. I've written a piece on this over at Newsweek.
