Not much left to say here..
we don't have to put up with bad diseases because we have vaccines. That's the point.
Also, being curled up in a fetal position for hours is not like any cold I've had.

He didn't call for help when it was so bad because he had a point to prove??
Ugh.

(1,160 posts)but at least he stayed home and away from others to die.
Still, I feel guilty and a bit morbid watching the video of a now dead man. I wonder if as he died all alone he knew he was about to die, if he was struggling to breathe and in pain, and if he had regrets. I just hope I don't have nightmares tonight.

(81,455 posts)Covid vaccine refuser died after terrible mistake, says partner
A man who died with Covid after refusing to be vaccinated made a "terrible mistake" which put his family at risk, his partner has said.
Leslie Lawrenson, 58, died at his home in Bournemouth, Dorset, on 2 July.
His partner Amanda Mitchell, 56, who was seriously ill with Covid at the same time, said he thought the vaccines were too "experimental".
Ms Mitchell said her partner, a Cambridge University graduate, decided against having a coronavirus jab after reading material on social media.
She said: "It was a daily thing that he said to us: 'You don't need to have it, you'll be fine, just be careful.'

(9,952 posts)careful implies you do not want to get it. And still refused a shot. Sounds like they were actively working at not getting if truly being careful and still refused the shot.

(10,659 posts)It's almost like some obstacle course some think they have to conquer to prove something. CNN just asked a Sturgis go-er if she's vaccinated and she said No (with a smile and giggle) and said she'd had it and ,"kicked its butt!".
Is this some American ideation?
