I am sorry your mom is so callous. But you should not extrapolate her values to anyone that is not interested in having the covid vaccine, especially those that are young and healthy. When the covid vaccine was made available I tried everything I could to get it asap. Why? Because I, and everyone else, was told that it would, "stop the spread." It was going to, "stop the pandemic in its tracks." I believed it. We were told that if we got the vaccine we could no longer get infected etc. You can choose to remember differently, but this is a fact. Then, slowly they rolled it back to 90% effective original strain, 60% Delta, subsequent strains are as low as 30% effective. The viral load that the vaccinated have was certainly lowered with the original strain but since omicron and beyond that seems to be more nebulous. So, if you're young and healthy I don't think there is a need to be getting the vaccine any longer. You're not protecting yourself and you're not effectively protecting others. It is certainly not the

"most untargeted positive thing you can do for humanity."

There are real reasons for young, healthy people to be skeptical re taking the covid vaccine. I think it's foolish to paint with such a wide brush. I know people that didn't take the vaccine because they were skeptical of the speed at which it was produced, a general distrust of government, the profit motive and the dismissal of other treatments. I was downright rude to these people at the time (my mom) and I have since apologized.

My mom is very giving to strangers and people she knows alike. There are many like her. I think we need a truth and reconciliation approach to covid now. With radical insight into how decisions were made. Many of the things that were thought to be, "conspiratorial," have turned out to be true. See lab leak v natural origins.

In short, you want to get the covid vaccine and subsequent boosters? Go for it. But it should no longer be mandated. Nor should the flu vaccine. Do you shame people that don't get the flu vaccine? Are they, "depraved?"

Again, if it were my daughter, I would do just about anything to get her a new heart. Not excusing the parents. But I would also fight against a system that denies a child a heart for these reasons.
