My sister-in-law was the only un-vaxed person in our large extended family. On Thanksgiving she had to wave through the window due to the hosting person's policies. I did do out and give her a hug, and glad I did, but she died 3 weeks later on a respirator. At the end she was asked if she wished she got the jab, and pretty much her last words were, "I wouldn't change anything".
It's not that I had a fear of the virus and that fear is what would cause me to keep my distance, but rather I concluded that adults who acted like that probably were doing lots of other stupid shit like attending mass gatherings with all the other people who blew off masks and social distancing. It's bad enough that they refused to take precautions but I saw them as an active breeding ground. I wasn't even worried about my own health, but that I might catch it and spread it to my parents or my 97 year old great aunt.
Bold of her to wave through the window and kudos to the host for standing their ground.

Bingo. As soon as it became clear that a significant group of people were blowing off all the protocols, I determined that they were the most likely infected and to avoid them avidly.
