I agree, except for the pity. I could no more pity him than I could a bloated parasite or leach feeding on my own children.

Unfortunately vaccines are not 100% effective. There will always be a percentage of the population that vaccines do not work for. Mass distribution of vaccines solves this problem by putting a whole lot of immune people between the ones that can always be infected. These dumbasses will be the reason a vaccinated kid dies, and then they’ll say “see vaccines don’t work!” And more people will believe them and more will die. Stupidity is dangerous. Stupidity gets people killed.
