    See, what I don’t get is that loosening vaccine requirements of the general public means less herd immunity. Elites aren’t entirely immune from diseases. They rely on the rest of the population also not getting sick.

    In a way, they’re digging their own grave.

      They’re not shoulder-to-shoulder with the rest of us at Costco, or waiting for hours at an overcrowded clinic, or sending their kids to schools packed past capacity. They live in a separate world, where exposure to the mess the rest of us deal with is minimized.

      When illness does fall on them, they get top-tier healthcare; faster, smarter, better than anything we’ll ever see. It’s a tiered society, where wealth and influence dictate your caste. They’re not digging graves; they’re building bunkers.
