IMO the people who lack courage are those who focus on themselves only and care less about the health and safety of others.
I think a lot of people actually are looking at something more than the immediate issue. Willingly giving up personal freedom is at play here. Welcoming more governmental control has potential repercussions.
I think that's where a portion of the population is at in terms of being forced to do something. The message and the science has never been consistent or even accurate at times and these guilt tactics and scare tactics aren't the same motivator for some that they are for others. Back when this started, the narrative was that if you wore a mask you were being racist for crying out loud. How many different ways has it flip-flopped back and forth since then? The WHO was caught lying so are they really a trusted authority? Fauci was caught lying so is he a trusted source?
Personal liberty is what this country was founded on and giving that away is a problem for some people. And all of the the contradictory information does not instill in some the confidence that it does in others.
