My first encounter with a rabid anti-vaxxer

66. Compassion?

I saw nothing in the post that showed a lack of compassion. It was a matter of fact accounting of an encounter with a person who is resisting vaccination and masking as health solutions to the pandemic. It was followed by the OP's reaction to the event.

Can you define what compassion would look like in this scenario?

Excuse the person's ill informed point of views because he lost his job? Put yourself in the shoes of a person who believes in right wing talking points and puts other people's health at risk as a result? I suppose if I had lost my job because I supported a viewpoint that is held by a small minority of people with way outsized influence over the conversation about public health, I might be upset.

Tolerance and open mindedness are an excuse that right wingers often use to be allowed to push their toxic views. They want liberals to be tolerant of White Supremacist views, which would literally seek to push out, or kill people of color. There are certain viewpoints that deserve no tolerance.

We can feel bad for him that he lost his job while also understanding that he lost the job because he would not follow guidelines that were founded in science and public health, to protect his fellow workers.
