Agreed, but the political strategy, with all of the reversing direction and selective following of cherry-picked "science" is having the opposite political effect on those (like me) who are somewhere in the middle of the anti-vaxxers and the control-freak-scare-tactic-left. Reasonable people are willing to temporarily surrender some of their freedoms for the sake of the well-being of the general populace in a national emergency, but not for protracted periods of time, especially when "the science" is abused for what appears to be nothing more than pure political control.
