w4u I don’t blame people here for how they view me (yourself included), but instead of assuming the intents of others, I think this forum will do well with a little more consideration of other’s perspectives without the assumption of them being morally bankrupt (like myself).

I hear you and in general, I agree with you. But then you are a reasonable person and even if you were misinformed to start you have given the matter thought and come to a logical conclusion. That’s why I shook your hand.  You have “informed yourself” and made a decision based on that knowledge.

That is how an “informed citizenry” should behave in a democracy.

What irks me is when a person stubbornly rejects valid medical news sources and blindly follow the advice of some anonymous con-artist like QAnon.

The fact that this “person(s)” is anonymous should raise a red flag in anyone’s mind. If they are legitimate why remain anonymous?  When we consider that this is not a matter of rights and freedoms, but a matter of medical necessity, I have no pity when someone has the opportunity to receive free vaccinations but refuses them and refuses to wear masks to boot, when there are good people who want to be vaccinated, but are denied access by the powers that be.

IMO, that is criminal and I have no sympathy for their “beliefs”, especially when they are based on false information, without any attempt to become informed of the facts.
