It is irritating that the term was picked up as a bumper sticker by a group of charlatans to be thrown around for the last year as an excuse for what they were going to do anyway by people who are decidedly not experts and have glaring conflict of interests. To the extent there are large groups of people who openly believe COVID parties are the way to go. While still shunning the only thing out there, which will actually benefit them personally in the form of vaccination.

It's the stupid, man. I can't take the stupid.
