The COVID vaccines have hardly ameliorated our disagreements over public health policies. Instead, they have made our disharmony more bitter. We are now divided into three distinct vaccine tribes.
The pro-vaccine/pro-mandate tribe has taken the jab and insists that everyone else be inoculated too. The anti-vaccine/anti-mandate tribe refuses to be inoculated and plans to resist all mandates. This tribe includes some healthcare workers. For example, Houston Methodist Hospital fired more than 150 nurses and other staffers when they sacrificed their jobs rather than receive the jab.
