I really think the problem is just ignorance. It's not like anti-vaxxers where I can say WELL YOU KNOW THIS WOULD HAPPEN when they get sick. They really don't know.
This. The government -- all levels of it, have pretty much abandoned the "public" part of public health. And you have to work really fucking hard to find the right people to follow on social media to learn about and keep up on the latest findings about Covid and just how much even a "mild" case fucks up every part of your body. People can't make informed choices when not provided with actual information to inform those choices. I read a CBC piece the other day that said over 76% of Canadians have had at least one Covid infection. That just floored me.
