Among its brutal impacts is that the chemotherapy has weakened her immune system. That made her husband’s refusal to get any of the several COVID-19 shots available to him all the more galling. “He became radicalized during the pandemic,” she said. “When I mentioned to a few people that he didn’t get it, people were really offended. Like, You’re getting treatment for cancer, and he won’t get vaccinated?”
I can’t even imagine (as a husband) feeling this way. This lack of empathy, sympathy, or “wanting to fix it in any way I could” feeling from this man is just inexcusable.
It’s heart-breaking.
