Not being interested is your perogative, for sure. I don't have a choice about being interested. I have friends and family on all sides of the discussion. but also, if you want to have any kind of impact in other's lives, you have to care about what they think.
Conversations get moved forward when at least some are interested in understanding each other, rather than being content with the polarization. Also, I know that there are plenty of people not trying to understand where your side is coming from.
Regarding privilege, who exactly is privileged in this discussion? Usually the the discussion of privilege has to do with the U.S. construction of race, before and during the country's conception, in order to create a caste system so that some could prosper on the backs of others. I don't understand how vaccination is part of that conversation. I'm willing to be wrong, though, if you can coach me up.
