The rich will go out-of-state; the poor will die.

Power over life-and-death is the ultimate expression of conservatism.

Biden could activate the National Guard and use them to distribute the vaccine. Like some Thrd world country. Or put Navy hospital ships in the harbors. Because it is not about saving the vaccinated but mainly those that cannot get a vaccine, such as the young and immunocompromised. That is why it is a public health problem.

We have already seen what happens with something like measles when vaccination rates drop. Another coronavirus or other pandemic (ebola?) might change a lot of minds. Especially with decaying bodies in the streets because refrigeration trucks and morgues are full.. Real panic would set in.

Would it though? Change minds? Not sure at all. But the people dying at the highest rates would likely be the stupid ones. That might affect things eventually.
