I think you brought up valid points and people are kind of over reacting. I agree education is the problem but what you said also got me to see the “not vaccinating myself is causing harm to others” viewpoint. Some here are being rude instead of engaging in better conversation. Your comment got me to think and read others.
Some here are being rude instead of engaging in better conversation.
People are tired. People still hold the feelings of frustration over the needless deaths, life-altering conditions and overworked medical staff who quit over the workload and aggressive and violent patients – all of it needless, all of it prolonged needlessly by the ignorant people whose personal importance overshadowed their community obligations and risked the 1:1000000 with actual issues and others who needed to rely on ‘herd’ immunity.
You know this. You saw this. You MUST understand this. Some of us lost friends and family, and in the last months of it we knew those lost would have been safe if the ignorant gits actually took their medicine. We hear the logic of the anti-vaxxer, we hear how it sounds like a drunk driver saying “but I need to drive home”, and we see anti-vaxxers who avoided the single most tested set of vaccines as the same as those negligent, homicidal drunks.
We’re not rude intentionally. We’re frustrated and tired at explaining something as simple as “trees are wood” to people retorting with “needles are scary so let the others die”. We’re annoyed we had to say it twice, let alone all the hundred of times after. And now someone says “but I’m important and I know more than doctors” and we aren’t at our best in that moment.
But how is “I see the point of anti-vax narcissists” not just trolling by now?
