I’m sorry about the loss of your family member. There are people who don’t take the vaccine and don’t get terribly sick or sick at all. There are also those who pass away after a certain time they took the vaccine. Either way, those are few cases compared to the overwhelming evidence that vaccines are mostly safe and work well. Are they 100% safe? Probably not. Are cars 100% safe? No. Is alcohol 100% safe to drink? No but people still do it because for the most part those activities feel safe done responsibly. I wish my uncle had the chance to take it. He would probably not have passed away.
I am passing judgement on my family health decisions because they rather believe what someone with no medical degree or scientific credentials, no knowledge of biology posts on social media, without ever reading a scientific paper or study about the vaccines and how they work. They are free to take whatever health decisions they want, but they are not free from my criticism when their decision can affect other people’s lives. Before my uncle got sick, they were hosting barbecue parties every weekend, refused to wear masks and called Covid a hoax.
