Spreading the misinformation that only unvaccinated people spread the virus is the reason why people get demonized. They can't just be making a bad choice for themselves; they have to be damaging to society in some way.

So, I guess someone who is obese and dies also deserves to be mocked? Someone who drinks alcohol and dies also deserves to be mocked? Does someone who participates in an activity that increases their risk of mortality such as skydiving, do they deserve to be mocked? How about someone who drives a car or motorcycle every day which increases their mortality as well as the mortality of others on the road? It's pretty weird how a vaccination status immediately translates in your mind that a person is selfish and should be mocked.

Do you joke about people dying in car accidents because they chose to drive?

@kevinw4267 Well "stupid" is based on a subjective opinion. Many people would think consuming sugar or alcohol all of our lives when it has next to no nutritional value is stupid. Many might think the fact that I go snowboarding is stupid. Just like we all take additional risk by driving places even though tens of thousands of people die in car accidents every year. My point is if you think that "everything has a risk", then you're choosing the death and suffering to laugh at. You can decide for yourself if that makes you a good person or not.

@kevinw4267 Okay then I guess you won't have a problem with people laughing at your death or a family member's death if there was something that could have been done to prevent it. Got into a car accident? Should have stayed home. Had a heart attack? Should have eaten healthier. Ha ha, right?

@kevinw4267 You don't have to drive 80mph on the wrong side of the road in order to die in a car accident... You're simply exaggerating in order to make your point seem more credible. Just the act of driving, flying, eating sugar, drinking alcohol, and thousands of other behaviors makes it more likely for you to die.

@kevinw4267 Apparently you're not seeing my point. Just driving on the road puts you at greater risk of dying. Just like eating sugar, drinking alcohol, and thousands of other things. All of those "actions have consequences". Deciding that certain actions that leads people to die are "funny" and then telling me that I should grow up is pretty ironic....

@kevinw4267 No, I'm an adult that understands that deciding to drive, fly, drink, eat fast food, and countless other things all can have deadly consequences whether they intend to or not, and that the world is relative not black and white. It's also pretty easy to see someone resorting to insults when their arguments don't work out.
