I've given up on being sympathetic for people who actively try to put these things in place. Like, I'm just jaded now. You voted for this. Congratulations, if this is fatal for your stupid decisions, that's on you. I'm sympathetic to the people with brains who knew this would happen, those people get my sympathy and caring.

I felt similar about people asking for the vaccine right before they went on the ventilator. Something like 3m people in the US died from Covid.

It's been estimated that there were at least 232k preventable deaths because people didn't get vaccinated. That doesn't include people who suffered permanent damage or long-COVID.
