then yes. If they do not (lots of states are experiencing outbreaks at the moment), then I would understand if they cannot.

I disagree with the idea of "your people are uneducated and didn't get the vaccine so we will callously watch you die and say ha ha about it." This isn't a democratic attitude. This isn't the attitude we take when we're talking about sending foreign aid to poor countries (intended to help citizens who are less educated and also make decisions we do not agree with.) This isn't the attitude we should have when encountering the homeless--you made bad life choices, so eff you, you can just die like a dog in the street.

No, we try to be good people and have a heart and realize that privilege is a part of why we made better choices. I came from a good family that was privileged to have enough food to eat and a roof over our heads. My parents sent me to good schools and taught me to believe in science. As a teacher, I encountered ALL SORTS of kids from households where parents are not educated, and that generational lack of education just gets passed down and causes further harm. We need to keep getting the word out about the vaccine, even if it's one news story, one conversation with a doctor at a time.
