> I get this, but when the alternative is spreading a virus that can have vulnerable people end up on a ventilator or worse... is it not a small price to pay? It was a small price to pay in 2020 before there was a vaccine, and I paid it. Now that the vaccine is available I wonder why said vulnerable people are choosing to not get the vaccine and putting undue burden on me and my family and so I tend to think it is is not worth paying that price anymore. If said vulnerable person is unable to get the vaccine for medical reasons... those types of people are exceedingly rare and have always had to be super careful. For them I recommend just sheltering in place indefinitely or something like https://microclimate.com/ https://microclimate.com/ in public.
