Interesting choice of words, both here and in the article's headline.
In my personal experience, which goes back to the Civil Rights Movement, people who know that they're doing the right thing despite what everyone else says welcome being pointed out for their choices and take the spotlight as a mark of pride. It's only the people who think that they're doing something wrong who call it "shaming".
So... yeah. Keep on shaming these people - if they're secure in their opinions, they won't care.
What I'm hoping is that extends to people coming into work sick... "No, you go home, it doesn't matter how busy we are, you coming in sick is going to extend the busy time in exactly the wrong way."
Thankfully, we don't have anyone to deal with that I know of outside of my sister-in-law, and I've already told my partner she's not welcome in the house until she gets over her objections and gets vaccinated.
The only objection to vaccination that will hold water with me is a chronic illness that makes vaccination impossible, like an allergic reaction to any vaccinations.. Anything else is just an excuse to not consider others over oneself.
For me, this is one of those things where the needs of the many absolutely do outweigh the needs of the few or the one, without any question. That others question it at all is absolutely frightening.
