What sympathy would you give someone who caught the virus in a pub when pubs were open in the summer?

The question of being "negligent" applies to more of our collective actions than simply taking or not taking the vaccine. The question also has to be asked, why is it so many from BAME backgrounds are not taking the vaccine? There is, sadly, plenty of evidence of people being targeted by anti-vaxxers scaring people into not taking the vaccine with lots of untrue accusations. It isn't beyond the realms of possibility that such adverts find their way into certain demographics (elderly, BAME, people who collect stamps) because of the algorithms used on social media platforms like Facebook.
