This captures it! Because accepting coercion means enabling it for us all. It was taking a gamble that they would be the ones alright even though others wouldn't. Like, 'hopefully I won't be the one injured," even though just by participating, which emboldens the perpetrators and leads to more people forced to get the shots, of course more people will be injured.

Still, I have compassion that the pressure on some coerced was greater than on others. If you are told you can't see your loved one or if your family is in the US and you can't move here to join them without the shots, those are especially difficult situations. College students are very unlikely to have developed either the understanding or the strength of will to stand. And while I can't judge between them all, I know too many people were far too easy on themselves. This was the time to take a stand and all who could make a sacrifice for others' freedom and their own should have done so.
