Yep, that’s how it goes with the anti-vaxx movement.
Gen 0 - lived with the reality that multiple people they knew died because of viruses and lined up to get vaxxed when they became available. Then went on to get their kids vaxxed because human ingenuity found a way to curb suffering.
Gen 1 - grow up and got their kids vaxxed because, while they might not have seen it first hand, they remember stories from their parents and were horrified. “Thank god we’re found a way to stop it!”
Gen 2 - get their kids vaxxed because they aren’t stupid, and it’s just become a routine part of raising a child.
Gen 3 - have the luxury of being so far removed from the horrific impact of these preventable virus’ that they decide vaccines should be optional because… “Don’t tell me what to do, science nerds”
