They did. In many places you have to get the proper vaccinations in order to play on a sports team, attend public school, attend college, work with animals, work with children, etc. That's why I don't understand why the COVID-19 vax is a big deal given that we've had vaccine requirements in play since the 50s.
Yea but no business ever checked or cared. You could go in to Wal-Mart with smallpox and nobody would have said a word, let alone required a mask.
I don’t get the Covid-19 anti-vax stuff either (if you go far enough left you end up on the right), but I also don’t get the hysteria around people all of a sudden trying to require vaccines or masks when you didn’t care whatsoever less than two years ago with many other virulent diseases ranging from the flu to streptococcus and others.
I always feel like I’m caught between two groups of crazies. On one hand you have people who didn’t know they were anti-vax until Donald Trump said so (good god…) but then on the other hand you have people who are hell-bent on wearing a mask in conditions far less or at worst just as dangerous as two years ago. Like can everybody chill out?
People will probably calm down about it as the years go on and the new vaccines are proven to be safe and effective. I think it's just the novelty that scares people since there's brand-new tech involved. Compare to vaccines like MMR that have been around for fifty years where even the falsey autism claims couldn't scare most people off because the results speak for themselves.
