  Even when that person is putting others at risk, both directly and indirectly?

  I mean…if some anti-vaxxer survives a bout with covid only to spread it to one of your immunocompromised loved ones, who isn’t so lucky and dies from it?

  In that hypothetical, harsh as it may sound, I’d much rather the one with agency to take preventative measures and chose not to take them be the one to suffer the consequences of their selfish inaction and poor decisions.

  I’m not saying they deserve to die, I’m just looking at it from the angle of how this person will use the life they’ve managed to hang onto and how they’ll negatively impact society and the people around them with the time they have.

    I’d rather just call them out in a clear way and move on. Hopefully people learn from the interaction, but I doubt everyone will. It’s not worth the effort trying to play 4D chess with an infinite amount of variables. Learning to live with ‘good enough’ is sometimes all you can do.
