Life is deadly, it eventually kills you and everyone around you whether you like it or not#.

Life's a risk from well before you were born until the day you die. Taking risks everyday is what life's all about. That said, when transversing life's obstacles it's incumbent on you to do your best to not trample on others and thus increase their risks. And sometimes that means taking additional risks yourself as it's the right and proper thing to do as it minimize the risks for others - and here that additional risk is pretty insignificant - that of bring vaccinated.

I'd contend that those who aren't prepared to take that risk are acting selfishly. If not, then they're spooked or damn scared.

Why some people in the US, where there's access to good eduation, verifiably accurate information, etc., and yet they still refuse to accept evidence and logical argument is one of the big conundrums of our time. Still, even with all these obstacles in hand it's our duty to help them, difficult as that may be.

# That's a raw point at the moment for me as a close friend of some decades died a few days ago (no, it wasn't COVID).
