If you're hit by a car, there is another party to the incident whose responsibility to avoid hitting people is at play. It is generally understood that a driver has a greater duty to avoid hitting people than people do to avoid getting hit. To wit, people have a right to not be hit by cars. It is a crime or wrongful act. Victim Blaming is a logical fallacy in which the responsibility for an incident is misattributed, sloughing blame from the more-responsible party to the less-responsible party. Catching a disease is not like being hit by a car, even by accident, because there is not a legal obligation to avoid infecting other people if you have a disease. If you catch covid, no crime has been committed. In fact, the presumption of duty is often reversed, except in exceptionally malicious circumstances. The responsibility for being accidentally infected usually lies with the one who failed to avoid it. Although, it is not unthinkable to expect people to have a legal duty to avoid infecting others, say, by wearing a mask... But if a person denies that idea, they can't at the same time claim it's not their responsibility that they got sick.
