There's a fair amount of cognitive dissonance as well. I had a rather heated argument with a very 'progressive' acquaintance who thought I was if not an outright Nazi, at least Hitler-adjacent, because I was horrified at the idea of vaccine passports. He was simultaneously calling people Nazis for supporting an ID requirement to vote. When I finally asked him how on earth he thought people who would be prevented from voting by having to produce an ID card that is freely available from any motor vehicle branch were going to be affected by having to show proof that they had gotten at least two doses of vaccine that were -- at least at that time -- only available by making appointments online and driving to sometimes far distant medical facilities, he metaphorically waved his hands and declared that "the authorities will have to make sure that doesn't happen." Just. Plain. Clueless.
