Resistance
The limits of persuasion are amply demonstrated in the COVID vaccination rate. Despite the President, the national and state heads of disease control, physicians, neighbors, friends, relatives and more, there are still more than 30 percent of the population in the US who are refusing to get the jab. It’s unexplainable. Resisters have a variety of reasons but nothing that overcomes the dangers of the virus, especially the new variant which is whipping around the country. All one can do at this point is to ask why and to hope those coming down with the illness might survive. At least as a testimony to what hardheadedness can produce. The President is suggesting that health workers go door to door to root out the unvaccinated and give them the shot. That might work for some but not for all. It might be time to give up trying and to let the virus have its way. That wouldn’t be charitable but it would be justice. “You chose this path. Now, live with it.”
