It’s easy to criticize vaccines when you’ve never had to bury a child lost to measles.
It’s easy to push “immune-boosting smoothies” when you have clean water, plumbing, & sanitation.
It’s easy to say “healthy food” is based on one food ingredient when you have access to fruits & vegetables.

But the government does get to decide what healthcare it covers, whose IDs are valid, which people it’s legal to discriminate against.
This culture war idiocy is so powerful. This is going to be a long fight.
