What's this?

So just to be clear... you've got "COVID fatigue". You are tired of the

restrictions and want things to open back up... but you don't support things like the vaccine or other policies in place to help control the spread in order to help get things back to normal. I don't get that. It's the same with people who want things open but refuse to wear a mask in close proximity to others. It's fine to be skeptical of the vaccine but we've got millions of people getting it every day across the world. That should give you some reassurance there.

It's not about "judging" or telling people they're "wrong". It's the simple fact that fewer people getting the vaccine means less effectiveness in immunity which means the virus spreads longer and all this (restrictions/policies) continues longer. Like I said... it's in complete contradiction to your fatigue and criticisms of policy.
