Yup exactly this. I'm so sorry about your friend, learning that about your father, and wow your neighbor is insane.

I found out during the pandemic that my sister was an anti-vaxxer and I still haven't recovered from that. She decided not wearing a mask ever and "not being so uptight about the flu" was more important than her six year old son's health, or even worse, our mother's health - our mom has cancer and has been on chemo medication for years. Had she gotten sick it likely would've killed her.

I don't think I will ever understand why we in the states had to lose so many people to covid when all we had to do was experience the mild discomforts of wearing masks and staying home. And not just deaths, so many people's lives have been ruined by long covid. People like OP baffle me.

There's none in my family fortunately but a few of my acquaintances/friends revealed themselves to be antivax conspiracy wingnuts when it all went down and I'll never be able to look at them the same way again either.

More than individual stupidity/solipsism I think profits are to blame, at least in the case of the US. The CDC knew their recommendations were ineffective very early on but refused to raise the alarm about it or give more teeth to stricter enforcement because it would damage the economy and since it predominantly killed the elderly/infirm, would not affect healthy workers as much. Then the individual stupidity/solipsism was exacerbated by bad faith actors spreading misinformation either as a political scheme, as a front for corporations looking for back to work, or both.

Though one of my direct subordinates (an otherwise healthy 30-year-old) has permanent brain damage from a covid-induced stroke from being ordered back to in-person work before vaccines were available because "face time" was important and we should "share the burden" with frontline workers (i.e., put them in contact with more people and increase their likelihood of getting sick themselves).
