4. Mocking them is kind
Sat Jan 15, 2022, 06:26 PM

We have close to a million deaths from Covid already. At least 2/3 of these deaths are unnecessary - without the opposition of anti-vaxxers backed up by opportunistic Republican hacks, there would be hundreds of thousands of people still living.

When anti-vaxxers personally apologize to the family of every one of these unnecessary deaths and admit they were wrong about Covid, then I might think of treating them as human beings.

Anti-vaxxers have shown neither the empathy nor the reasoning capabilities that mark morally responsible human beings. They are not only implicitly mocking the hundreds of thousands of dead, they are directly responsible for these deaths.
