I’ve said it before, but it’s worth repeating: Vaccine refusal is seen like enlisting in a war. They know they might die, but will take the risk for the cause. But they also know their leaders aren’t going to risk their own hides, but are like generals who stay in the back line.

Yes, for most. I was not in a unit where the leaders stayed in the rear. Quite the opposite. Lead from the front or get the fuck out of the way.
