My mother falls into this category and lives in a very high infection area. Won't wear a mask, won't social distance, and won't get the "Satan vaccine". She's convinced it will kill her despite the rest of the family having got the vaccine with no ill effects. It's definitely strained the relationship. I told them they could visit me and their grandkids as soon as they got vaccinated. Apparently "sticking it to the libs" is more important than visiting family. I'm not as concerned for myself at this point, but am for my child as there are no ICU beds for kids anymore who are too young to be vaccinated.
- mjevans 5y agoAbout 3 months after 0+ are eligible for a vaccine that works I will stop giving a crap about others. I will still wear a mask for myself just as an added layer of protection, but I'll cease caring about saving those who do not want to be saved.
- sharken 5y agoSo how do you feel about the alcoholics and obese, do you also not care about them ?
- olliej 5y agoAlcoholics and the obese don’t transmit death or cause others to die by exhausting hospital resources* * Well DUIs kill people, but we’ve recognized that in that case someone’s “freedom” is legal when it kills other people
- CozyBearNotSoy 5y agoThe fact that cardiovascular disease is the leading cause of death in America doesn't faze you in your assessment here?

- hammock 5y agoYou will leave the unvaccinated alone once everyone who wants to get it can? You will let them in restaurants and on planes?
- ashtonkem 5y agoThis strikes at the core issue, it’s become a mark of tribal identity for some people. You can’t rationally talk someone out of a position like that, because it’s not fundamentally a position they’ve rationalized their way into.
