Humans need each other.  We congregate in groups, we socialize and anthropological research shows that we have done so since time immemorial.  Hence, it is arguably the most important step in emergency preparedness to create, strengthen and grow your community - those group of people you can count on when the chips are down.  Who do you call at 3 AM?  Who is coming to help you jump your car in the driveway and who will come and bang on your door when they see smoke?  Dig you out of a building collapse, provide a warm place to stay in an emergency, provide resources to help with your problems, access to professionals, tools and all the other theoretical and physical possessions that exist.  Hence, those who choose to not take a vaccine are your neighbours, friends, colleagues - they are not the cause of the pandemic, its continued damage - they are free citizens in a nation that allows for free thought and self determination.  It is not up to you to educate them on their shortcomings, but to accept they have made a decision based upon their interests and move on.  We will eventually get to a point where we accept COVID is part of our human existence, forever, and therefore when we return to complete normalcy - do you want to have created those exclusionary barrier with your community?  No one wins.
