that is really a very heartless way to treat people who cannot, usually through no fault of their own, get the vaccine. Maybe I am more sympathetic to the risks they have to take because I’m a cancer survivor.

If the vaccines work, then the risk for those who cannot be immunized are very small. Remember those people also could not get the polio vaccine, or the MMR vaccine, etc., yet we don’t have pandemics of those things. As long as herd immunity is high enough we don’t have to worry about the tiny fraction of people (less than 5%) who cannot be vaccinated.

Additionally, people who cannot be vaccinated should let people know so that those who are at high risk can avoid them. This is just common sense.

Before I got vaccinated, I made sure not to be around my friends who are elderly or immune compromised so they were not put at risk.
