In reply to the discussion: Millions Are Saying No to the Vaccines. What Are They Thinking? [View all]Ms. Toad
(34,060 posts)38. Whenever someone here responds to people not behaving re COVID with
something along the lines of "Good, let them kill themselves off," they are displaying the same lack of thinking about secondary harm.
I can't even count how many such posts I've responded to, reminding them that the person they don't care about will be spreading COVID to my daughter when she waits on them at Starbucks, to my elderly parents in their extended care community, to me when they pop up in my classroom, etc. That kind of "I'm/you're only hurting my/yourself" attitude isn't the exclusive property of the Republicans.
ETA: I didn't have to go far beyond your post to see it in this thread.
