I'm not saying she was a reeeeing tranny leftist, but the thing is there's a lot in between. This is also an obituary, they aren't going to write things like "Jessica and Tom talked about their Catholic faith a lot, but really didn't follow it in practice." or "Jessica did make at least some effort to be involved in her kids education, but was unwilling to give up her career in human resource management to get her kids out of public schools." Again, I'm totally making assumptions for the sake of discussion here and not saying either of those things are actually true.
In the end, what we know is she still took the vaccine despite believing it was dangerous. So, I'm just speculating beyond that. Yes, it's a lot easier to do that from the sidelines, and I'm not saying I'd have done better in the situation. Hell, if I lived in Seattle and hadn't gotten myself out by now, I'd probably have done a lot worse.
It's a discussion forum. I'm making discussion. I was merely examining the situation from a different perspective. You are the one that read in to this that I was assuming I was the only one correct or even that I think I'm correct at all.
I also have no idea how I'm supposed to poison my worldview, too much critical thinking I guess? Nor how this not being Reddit is relevant. Who cares?
Thanks for the detailed response, all I ever aimed for was discussion. I enjoy discussing things, pointless as it may be. If anything the point for me is to stimulate my brain. I do think it's fair to say that maybe my comments were worded in such a way that was a bit too aggressive towards the deceased. That wasn't done with ill intent but just as a result of chatting casually on this "trash Reddit spinoff."
There's a lot or weight being put on whether I think these opinions right or wrong. The simple answer is, I don't care either way. I'm not even trying to be correct. If I were to present what I think is the most correct opinion, it's that we have a mother who did not want to take the vaccine that was backed into a corner by mandates, and after weighing her options ended up taking the vaccine. It killed her and it's brutally wrong for her to have been put in such a situation. That's also not much more than the obituary reduced to a couple sentences. If I'm going to be correct then I really have to work with mostly factual information.
What I'm left with after that is essentially the question, why didn't she make another choice? Why didn't she homeschool? Why didn't she move? Those are just two of many. I'd really like to see people out of the mindset of that they "can't" do something or they "didn't have a choice." It's a bit of a pet peeve of mine. There's always a choice. It's like the song lyric, "If you choose not to decide you still have made a choice." Perhaps she didn't weigh these options at all or was less happy with the cost of other options, but she made a choice.
Where I do make a judgement is when I guessed that she leaned woke on a lot of policies. My context would be comparing what ideas I gather about this person to personal experience--i.e. people I know personally. I know quite a few people who say they are conservatives or something of that nature, but outside of a talking and one or two stronger stances it's just an act. They have this idea that we have to love everyone so it's okay to make them wear a mask to keep them safe or it's okay to teach critical race theory because of course we don't want to be racist. I see that fingerprint on this person based on what I know from this one link, hence what got me commenting to begin with. If I'm wrong, then it's nothing more than rambling on the internet in a way that's already been called pointless, so that's fine. If I appear totally batshit crazy, that's fine too.
My second post was really nothing more than the notions that being "woke" or not isn't an on/off switch. Having family values doesn't necessarily mean that one is not "woke." That and obituaries are typically written in a way that is favorable to the deceased. Just I presented it in a much more brash and sarcastic manner.
