Writing at The Federalist Jonathan Tobin explores the idea that Democrat opposition to a Covid-19 vaccine - the development and promotion of which is pushed by President Trump - could cost lives. I’m embarrassed to admit my first thought was “ No problem, so long as they’re Democrat lives.”
If you really love conspiracy theories you’d imagine that Trump will so identify himself with the vaccine that Democrats won’t take it, thereby choosing to put themselves at risk. But if half the populace doesn’t get vaccinated, will we ever achieve herd immunity? That’s the dilemma.
Depending on whether you see yourself as your brother’s keeper, you may feel if your opponent takes aim at his/her own foot, that’s not the time to yell “Don't shoot!” It can be sweet when your enemy has a self-destructive impulse.
