I recently read the memoir of my high school teacher who was German, father had to escape the country to survive, he was forced ino Hitler Youth then the army... I don't think that coward is necessarily fair. I think circumstances happen when you just need to survive.

I had a conversation with the pharmacist when I got mine. She said it is an excellent vaccine but there is a level of self selection. Its optional so people must both choose and afford it. Which means they make different life choices than people who don't. May be correlation not causation.
