Ben, you need to re read what RJ said about who chose not to get her the vaccine. That is neglect. You can make that decision for yourself but for your elderly mother, who's doctor suggested to get the vaccine and especially that we know it affects the elderly harder.
The family was neglectful for not allowing their mother to get vaxed.
First, she was still in excellent health, lived on her own, did her own shopping, etc. She was loved. And she didn't want to die. She was given bad advice, of which there is plenty,and that led directly to her death.
I understand how it came across as an ill intent. But it is not.
I re-read it, and I understand what is meant here in the bolded.
I thought this is the reason for why there is a Power of Attorney, for when a person becomes unable to make medical decisions for themselves. And for when there are signs of neglect of an elderly person unable to care for themselves.
My main and only point of discussion is about the topic of death and only in how people perceive the topic of death differently. It's a topic that should be discussed with loved ones, for those "just in case" times because life is not planned and accidents can happen. Bad advice can be given and lead to death. Someone could ask, "How do I get to this place on the map?" and you reply, "You take this trail, then head down this cliff and then around the lake into the valley." They follow the advice and fall off the cliff, was it bad advice? Another person could very well tell the same person, "Just go around the cliff, it's a little longer, but it's not that dangerous as that trail is quite steep and slippery." That person did not have to die because they got bad advice from a stranger, and it depends on just asking the right person.
This is only in response to the general statement of "These people didn't have to die".
I can still feel sympathy for people who do die, and still want to have a discussion about a topic. Even if that topic is pretty heart-felt and can become a sort of taboo topic for some. If I offend anyone, I apologize. But, I have seen and experienced death with a lot of loved ones and people within my tribal community, various reasons for death. So my perception of death is not the same as most and it's something I am interested in. Especially in these times where a vast amount of people perish, for whatever reason that may be. Mainly in the thought of how people will react to that moment, like if a volcano were to erupt and bury an entire city in lava. How would one be prepared to handle such a situation?
