Parents are one of the most offensive groups when it comes to scapegoating. Some children are gifted, some children work hard...that's life. But it's always some other kid that's responsible for their kid's failure.
I think the scapegoating of the people who didn't get shots is a media-driven situation. Most people with whom I speak at work are more of a live-and-let-live variety. Indeed, I've noticed more people in the office lately, which is a good thing by and large, with a healthy mix of masked and unmasked people...and NOBODY IS RAVING!
Ultimately, this all comes down to managing personal risk, and the reality that some risks can't be avoided. For example, in the world of investing, there is a concept of risk-minimization whereby you lower your risk of loss or volatility by spreading your eggs across several baskets. However, one risk you cannot diversity away is the "systematic risk" or the risk inherent in the system...call it market risk or whatever, the basic reality is some baseline level of risk will ALWAYS exist, and you can't avoid it.
Laws that support, life, liberty, and property are right and proper. Some laws act as a deterrent and will stop people on the margin from doing bad things...this is akin to diversifying away the non-systematic risk.
However, at some baseline level, in a relatively free society of 330MM people, you'll always have a few pathological maniacs who will kill. Thus, random with acts of violence are the systematic risk of a free society. Sure, maybe some laws can help, but in large measure unless you weld a GoPro to the heads of 330MM people with central monitoring in DC (and even that wouldn't be perfect...after all people in jail still get drugs and weapons), psychos gonna psycho.
Let's extend this to the pandemic. There is a risk of infection. And death. It's a thing. So controls were enacted to "flatten the curve" blah blah blah. Maybe...MAYBE on the margin some of them helped. That's for a different thread.
But NOW...people want to ELIMINATE the risk of COVID19 death or infection. Of course that's stupid-talk, and in reality this bug will likely be around forever, and eternal negativity just like influenza, bad breath, and Springsteen's music.
Rather than deal with this reality, the reality of the systematic risk of a free society where people don't want to get shots, they are scapegoating the unvaxxed. Hey, it beats thinking.
The problem is compounded when pathological politicians propose legislation - aimed at the systematic risk, which by definition you can't evade/will always be there - that simply erodes the freedoms of law-abiding citizens.
Is this by design? I doubt bureaucrats are that smart, but I don't doubt the darkness of their souls, or the power of scapegoating.
