> Not stupid.
Well let's see, they all have sufficient information to make an intelligent decision, in fact they have better information in this case than you or I do because they know from visceral first-hand experience that COVID-19 can be a very serious disease, and they have observed that every single one of their fellow COVID-19 patients in the emergency room hospital are unvaccinated just like themselves, and yet even after all that they were STILL unable to make an intelligent decision; so they must be lacking something, and the only thing I can think of is intelligence. Do you really want to call such behavior smart, is that the hill you want to die on?
I don't think dreaming up lame excuses for people who insist on turning their bodies into petri dishes that cultivate viruses and generate mutations, some of which might end up being even more virulent than the current Delta variant, demonstrates broad-mindedness, and it certainly doesn't help those very stupid people or society at large. Logic will never convince them to get the vaccine because logic never played a part in their decision not to get it, but if logic doesn't work maybe social stigmatization will shame them to do so. Thus I firmly believe the moral thing to do is to give these people all the respect they deserve.
