Am I the only person who knows these people in real life?

Like, a Howard graduate with a law degree, and he is an intelligent person who I respect in general. A music producer who is also a thoughtful, measured person who I respect as an artist and a man. I even know a nurse who has been working in hospitals for 20 years who told me she isn't getting it because XYZ miss-mash of thoughts.

None of these people advertised their positions to me, but when I asked if they were vaccinated we had discussions about it and they were pretty set in their positions.

It's weird, but I also can't just single out Sam Darnold, a guy who is probably not that informed or smart tbh. I have been surprised by a few people in my own family/work/life circles.
