   Paul Krugman, whom I mostly dislike, had a rare good column on this a week and   
   a   
   half ago.  He pointed out that what Republiscums/QAnon who refuse to get   
   vaccinated (and wear masks) *really* mean, when they start bullshitting about   
   "freedom," is actually *privilege*.  They say "freedom," but it's a "freedom"   
   they aren't willing to accord and recognize for everyone.  It is only for them,   
   and it is based on their race and ideology.  Only white conservatives   
   (reactionaries) are entitled to this so-called "freedom" to choose.
