Representative faces in high places are worse than useless when the existing power structure applies a filter to ensure that the only faces allowed to rise are attached to absolute scum.

A friend of mine on FB, a white cis-female in my age range, expressed her fears about getting vaxxed and in a post asked what others thought. One person, a white cismale in his early 70s, said heād rather notāve but his wife worked with the elderly so he had no choice. My friend was worried about blood clots (J&J).
Getting vaxxed, IMNSHO, should be automatic. What are people gonna do - sue their parents for getting them vaccinated when they were 3 - 4 years old, because they werenāt given a choice to fucking possibly die and/or possibly cause others to die? I donāt get it one bit.
I got chicken pox at age 25; as a kid I had regular and rubella measles, respectively, even after being vaxxed. And my mom had every childhood disease known to man practically back in the mid-to-late 1920s (her younger and more robust sister brought them home, I was told by Mom); Iām sure had vaccines been available for kids then, her mom woulda made sure she was first in line at the Huron County Dept. of Health to get 'em.

Again, imagine the response if Trump had done this. I would expect references to Nero and Rome burning to feature heavily.

OTOH, given the extreme racial disparity in US life expectancy (increased even further by the disproportionate impact of Covid), white Americans are probably still ahead of the Chinese average.
But probably not for much longer.
