solarbirdWhat I didn't say last night - but should've - is that this is how they make things culturally multigenerational, and there are enough of them to wreck public health for generations, particularly if it spreads to other vaccines.
If they decide that's all worth it, if the "my country or no country" philosophy they already have extends completely to plagues killing them, if mass destruction is a fair price to pay for pursuing the "my country or no country" ethos - then that really is how you get the Taliban, or ISIS, or any similar group.
"It's ours, or there's nothing left to have."
Notice how many of them were side-eye admiring the Taliban last week, as the politics were shifting? I did.
This is an inflection point. Right now.
