On a side note, why do you keep bringing up "friends, family, neighbors, co-workers" etc? Seems really weird to me.
There seems to be a pervasive feeling some feel they are not at risk so let people die to help the economy

Hence the response it is more about others and the fact there are a significant number of people at risk.

As for cancer prevention...why bring that up when it or not a pandemic. You can’t catch cancer the same way. Sure HPV vaccine prevents cancer but again...Covid19 and cancer are entirely different topics.

Start a should we work to stop cancer thread. Likely most will say yes and others will say let nature take its course.
And yes. Encouraging people to be healthier is great. Can save the economy and save lives. Win/win.
