Some of us are old enough to have lived through the polio experience and have friends and acquaintances who were physically disabled by the disease. Most in that generation do not resist vaccines when new diseases threaten such as Covid and its mutations.
A number of House members seem to be resisting the Manchin pound of flesh and Nancy Pelosi may refuse to put it on the floor without a majority.
I remember two kids from elementary school who needed leg braces and/or crutches. Some in high school too. I don't remember being scared about polio, although my mother has since said she was on our behalf, but covid still has me rattled and thoroughly vaccinated.
I always come down on the side of cupidity and fear in broad strokes, but occasionally our federal legislators will surprise me. I do hope you're right.
