@quixotic - I've faced a similar situation with family & friends who virtue signal and judge me & others for "not taking it seriously" I kindly remind them that I take my health and my life very seriously.. regardless of Covid (although it was a nice kick in the rear) by eating healthy, working out frequently, taking in balanced perspectives from a variety of sources and trying be kind / acknowledge that everybody is doing their best. That's how I operate but I know for many who criticize, it's the insecurity of "well you didn't do jab+mask.. and I did" that gives them a moral superiority. I don't know about you but I'm generally skeptical of the easy fix solution (especially when the data is less than compelling) and would rather do the hard work to live the life I think is best for me. So if it's similar for you.. let them know that you're not selfish and that you care for them. That you're doing the best you can - just like they are :)
With loved ones - it's not about who is "right" just try and love them and show kindness.. hopefully they'll reciprocate. The division from politicians, MSM, etc. has been brutal over the last couple years but it's up to us to rise above it for those that matter to us.
