    Ahh shoot. I wasn’t clear at all.

    My family refers to vaxxed people as covidiots. So I tend to associate it with antivax people. I will accept my negative number either way. Apologies for the confusion.

      Your family is just wrong, seemingly on every single shit they say or think.

        Lesson learned for me. My apologies for the snap judgment. And I appreciate the time you took to help educate me.

  One of the most helpful mindsets I’ve adopted was accepting that I don’t want to be wrong any longer than I have to be.

  Strangers on the internet don’t care. The only person you’re hurting is yourself.

    I wouldn’t say I’m hurt. More embarrassed that I accepted a definition without further scrutiny.

    My philosophy is to always be learning. Sometimes trauma impedes it and a wake up call is necessary. So I appreciate your time and thoughtful response and will take this lesson as an opportunity to do better for myself.

      I wasn’t strictly talking about the definition of covidiot, I was referring to the virus’ transmissibility; indoors vs outdoors.

      There has been a lot of misinformation during covid, from both side, and virtually everyone needs to accept that they were wrong about certain things.

      For example, I was forced to change my mind about the safety of the vaccine. I still personally believe most people should have been vaccinated, but we need to accept that it didn’t do what was expected.

      At the end of the day, Covid is a respiratory virus, and the consensus of indoors vs outdoors transmissibility had been reached decades ago.

      I appreciated the measured response, it’s rare to see people sincerely reflect on their beliefs so quickly without feeling condescended.
