Vaccination (and mask wearing) as repugnant transactions

 If a repugnant transaction is one that some people want to participate in, and other people think they shouldn't be allowed to (even those others aren't harmed by the participation of those who want to), then both vaccination and mask wearing are repugnant transactions, as Trumpism continues to work its way through the body politic.

Here's a story from the LA Times:

Dodger Stadium’s COVID-19 vaccination site temporarily shut down after protesters gather at entrance By MARISA GERBER, IRFAN KHAN

"Dodger Stadium’s mass COVID-19 vaccination site was temporarily shut down Saturday afternoon when about 50 protesters gathered at the entrance, frustrating hundreds of motorists who had been waiting in line for hours.

...

"The demonstrators included members of anti-vaccine and far-right groups. While some carried signs decrying the COVID-19 vaccine and shouting for people not to get the shots, there were no incidents of violence.

...

"A post on social media described the demonstration as the “Scamdemic Protest/March.” It advised participants to “please refrain from wearing Trump/MAGA attire as we want our statement to resonate with the sheeple. No flags but informational signs only.

“This is a sharing information protest and march against everything COVID, Vaccine, PCR Tests, Lockdowns, Masks, Fauci, Gates, Newsom, China, digital tracking, etc.”

...

"Protesters carried signs that read “Save Your Soul TURN BACK NOW,” “CNN IS LYING TO YOU,” “RECALL GAVIN NEWSOM” and “TAKE OFF YOUR MASK.”

...

“Unbelievable,” Los Angeles City Council President Nury Martinez tweeted. “If you don’t want the vaccine fine, but there are millions of Angelenos that do. 16,000 of your neighbors have died, so get out of the way.”
