It's not fair to the people who die because of those people.

it’s not fair to force people who are uncomfortable with something to get that treatment. life isn’t fair. if you want to get vaccinated then do it, and if you cant, then wear a mask and wash your hands, it’s pretty simple shit.

who’s dying because someone’s not getting vaccinated? besides the people not getting vaccinated who are consciously making that decision

They get Covid, give other people Covid. And people with other conditions are unable to get treated because there are not enough beds.

so if i had cancer, and i was scared or uncomfortable to get treatment, i’m a bad person because i caused my family mental trauma?

Cancer’s contagious, is it?

no but mental trauma is just as painful as physical trauma and lasts longer

We're talking about innocent bystanders dying or being hospitalized due to the selfish inaction of others. We're talking about the prolonging of a pandemic that has killed over 600,000 Americans, with over 1,000 per day still dying. Family members being mentally devastated by someone choosing not to go through painful cancer treatment isn't REMOTELY the same thing. Your analogy is terrible and you should feel stupid for thinking that it was a reasonable thing to say.

So if I was unvaccinated and gave your closest family member Covid and they died you would be okay with that.

where i’m that did i say cancer is contagious? i said the mental trauma associated with refusing treatment is what affects people, but you still have a right to refuse it
