      I think this was more about petulance. She had made refusing the vaccine her hill to die on and nothing was going to dissuade her.

        I swear that stubbornness kills more old people than anything else. Won’t go see the doctor, won’t listen to the doctor, won’t take their medicine, won’t do exercise, won’t change diet, won’t quit smoking, etc. They should list “stubbornness” as the cause of death.

        It will be “See! This vaccine killed this woman!” They will just leave out that she refused and didn’t actually take the vaccine. I remember seeing a few people claim that some of their friends took the vaccine and they died, even though they never did and was very anti-vaxx.

      Nobody wins, this is and was unfathomably stupid.

      Behind door number 1 is certain death, door number two is take one of the best tested vaccines in history and have a pretty good shot at things. I know she believed it was untested or evil, but she must have ignored so many things the medical team told her.

      I just cannot understand what was going through her head.

        In the end, when it became clear to everyone that the vaccine was safe and effective she had made refusing her entire identity. She felt heroic. She just couldn’t bring herself to give up her crusade and slowly died because she was stubborn.
