[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I just don’t understand this point of view. I know everyone hates - and I understand how obnoxious it is, I really do! - the “my parents are dead and I’d do anything to see them” posters, but seriously, think about it. You’re refusing to see them to prove a point, not because you’re really scared. You and your kids are probably around unvaccinated people all the time.

They’ve been brainwashed into acting against their and everyone else’s best interests, but if you are vaccinated you should not let their lack of critical thinking skills ruin your relationships forever. If you are triple vaxxed, you should visit them because it’s safe for you. If they had suffered brain damage and couldn’t take care of themselves, would you refuse to see them then? Of course not, you’d feel sorry for them.

I know you are posting here so you can get all the DCUM “attagirls!” and “way to gos!” But I think you are cutting off your nose to spite your face, and you should go see your parents who love you and whom you probably love, despite their stupidity.[/quote]

NP, but it didn’t get vaccinated for me. I’m in a low risk age group, healthy, and have no risk factors. I got vaccinated because of the people I care about. Vaccines don’t prevent COVID. They help prevent the spread, and make it less severe, and if I can be a wall of less transmission, that’s my responsibility as a person who cares about others.

I personally don’t want to surround myself with people who don’t care about others. “Everyone’s best interests” is actually about about everyone, not just yourself. A brain injury form being an idiot only hurts you - being a willing COVID carrier affects everyone in the community, so your argument fails. I can’t catch your Brian injury. It’s not even about not wearing a seatbelt. How do you  feel about the decision to drink and drive while not wearing a seatbelt?
