In the process, I think they're trying to plant a poison pill into the anti-shot rightists.
What they don't realize, is most opponents to these shots could give a rip about their godfathers. Heck, they may even find some common ground with fellow citizens with who they used to consider whack jobs..and finding common ground with people we are supposed to hate is a scary idea to Our Overlords.
A similar situation occurred with anti-homeschooling people....they tried to get parents thrust into homeschooling in 2020 to realize that those religious nutcase HSers aren't the same as them. In the process, these parents found out the HSers weren't nutty and, actually, they have a point.
It boils down to unquestioning obedience to government overlords. Democrats, liberal, marxists, etc obey their government. Without question, they will obey. They demand everyone else obey as well. “The right” conservatives don’t.
We have relatives who are true anti-vaxxers—they have refused all vaccinations for their kids for many years.
The interesting part is that they are apolitical—my guess is they are not even registered voters.
They are not religious at all—don’t attend church.
We have not questioned them closely about “why” they have made that choice—that is their business.
But—it is easy to try to fit people into “boxes”—but some folks are just independent thinkers who want to it “their way”.
