WWII was a period where Americans had to sacrifice as a nation toward common goals. Like Covid (& unlike the war on terror), WWII had a goal and a sunset - so we knew any measures were temporary.

And what 1940s America was asked for - it was far more than wearing a mask and a 15 min vaccination 2x a year. Most of half of today's Americans would have spent WWII having one conniption after another, in response to what were actual sacrifices.
