It also would seem no coincidence that MANY of these kinds of horrible crashes seem to happen in the early morning hours overnight -- and not in the daytime, broad daylight or even early evening periods.
One might assume that has something to do with the reduced attention / nodding off of the involved bus drivers during those overnight hours in some way contributing to the fatal end results.
And I sincerely hope they stay that way...
They’re protected - for now - not because of some miraculous immune system or divine luck, but because everyone else around them is vaccinated. It’s called herd immunity, and it’s the invisible shield that protects those who piggyback off the responsibility of others while sneering at the very science that keeps them safe.
Your anecdotal argument does nothing but highlight a fundamental misunderstanding of how - and why - mass vaccination works.
It’s not about individual anecdotes; it’s about public health on a scale that spans continents and generations.
The recent spike in measles cases in the U.S. is a direct result of declining vaccination rates - driven by misinformation, mistrust, and social media-fuelled ignorance. COVID-19 didn’t help either; it disrupted routine immunisation schedules, widening the cracks in our collective defences.
And, unsurprisingly, the majority of those measles cases? Found in the unvaccinated. Herd immunity doesn’t collapse overnight - but chip away at it long enough with baseless fear and conspiratorial thinking, and the consequences are entirely predictable.
