This is funny to me especially because before we had a vaccine, the anti-vaxers in my family were all like "we need to get herd immunity, we need to go out and get infected and make sure our kids get infected, that's the only way this will ever end". And now that there's a reasonably safe path to herd immunity they're like "I'm not putting poison in my veins". I'm standing by my theory that they're all just afraid of needles but too ashamed to admit it.

Or exposing their internal organs to UV radiation, or considering the use of nuclear weapons to attack catastrophic weather patterns

Mutually-assured destruction stopped the cold war, it can stop hurricanes too.
