The reality is that anyone that wants to be vaccinated can be. Indiana had one of the most efficient online appointment platforms in the country. The Indiana Department of Health also developed robust mass vaccination clinics at various locations and at various times throughout the State. At this writing, it is my understanding that both testing, vaccinations and boosters are being offered by the continued commitment of this state agency to ensure that services are available to those who need them.
This “ranking” in the country (41st) is not due to a lack of initiative or effort on the part of our state government and the IDoH who, before COVID, had their hands full assisting with HIV infections and meth addictions within our borders. It is, sadly, due to the ignorance and misinformation that is promulgated through various social platforms and media outlets. The continued effort on the part of these misinformed, ignorant and selfish individuals, entities and social platforms is nothing short of being completely un-American. While they hold up their rights to “make their own choices”, they do so with a seeming disinterest in the responsibilities that come with those rights and an acknowledgement of the entity under which they even exist……the UNITED States of America.
My thanks to the hard work of all those involved in ensuring that Hoosiers anywhere can gain access to these life-saving vaccines and to those faithful and loyal Hoosiers who care enough about others to get this proven and safe vaccine.
Your first paragraph is correct.
Beyond that, I can’t possibly think of a more effective way of convincing the unvaxxed to your side of the argument than by calling them “ignorant” “misinformed” and “selfish”. Because the definition of “American” is always joining the herd, right? And of course, considering that you’re clearly someone who gets their news from AP, Washington Post or other legacy news outlets that IBJ does not cite so frequently, do explain to these lowlife scum that you despise why they should be so beholden to media messaging that routinely calls them Not-Sees and white supremacists?
There’s no unity when it’s one side making all the commands and the other is expected to respond like a slave. Or were we supposed to taking you when you were engaged in the #Resistance and force you to lose your jobs, hide your opinions, or resort to using coding to convey whose team you’re on? The comparisons to Weimar Germany once again seem apt; Germans back then (also quite well educated but totally duped by propaganda) also thought they were better than everyone else and needed a clear scapegoat for their country’s many woes.
As a vaxxed individual who supports individual freedom (a concept foreign to the tankies, as it’s always been), nothing could make me happier than to see such a large number of Hoosiers digging their heels in, making you apoplectic with rage. May a blood vessel burst in your head. Those who have no capacity for self reflection will always end up becoming the very thing they hate. Your legacy news sources are continuing to suffer precipitous declines in viewership because so few people believe them any more, and COVID is just one reason out of many.
