It's none of your business whether the parent gets vaccinated or not.

It's also extremely rare for people under 75 to die from China Virus.

Stop being a busy body.

You should also accept that whether you're vaxed or not, you will almost certainly be fine.

You should also accept that personal health decisions are just that, personal.
Do you know the long term effects of getting Covid if you have not been vaccinated? Why aren’t you worried about that? Chicken Pox leads to Shingles later in life, but if you are vaccinated, you don’t have to worry about it. What could unvaccinated exposure to covid mean long term? Seems like something you should be concerned with if you are worried about long term impacts of things.

The hospitals are full of people with Covid. They are not full of people with adverse reactions to the vaccine.

Are people starting these anti vaccine threads being busy bodies?

They are not "full" of people with China. Stop falling for the media trying to whip you up into a frenzy.

In my county there were FIFTEEN cases of China Virus yesterday. Most of the country is like this.

The sky isn't falling. Many of the people with the vaccine are getting it too, and it has already been proven that natural immunity is MUCH more durable than the virus.

It's a natural pandemic. You can't stop it. Stop fretting over something with a 99.9% survival rate, vaccinated or not.

I’m not fretting. I’m vaccinated.

There is plenty of data available for you if you want to leave your county level anecdotes sometime.

It's your opinion that their decision is poor.
It’s an unequivocal fact that it is a poor decision. So are making the choices you list above that lead to an early, preventable death. They are all in the same bucket.

Why is it important to share all the stories?
I think I will also share all stories of people killed by drunk drivers and people who die of lung cancer or emphezema (from smoking). Also I am overwieght but had a Mountain Dew float last night. If I get heart disease we should share my demise too.

Almost all rational people know they have a chance of getting Covid and depending upon their age and other factors may have a chance of dying. If they then choose to not get a vaccine that is mostly their concern. If you are vaccinated you have very little to worry about and if you are worried get some N95 masks.

I should have read the thread before I posted my comment. It is my post exactly.

Yes, overall the viral case levels are peaking and never even reached half of last year, and deaths are way, way down from last year.

That's the macro, non-anecdotal data for people who don't fall for media hysteria.
