Right wingers don't get that.

It's not that they don't understand, it's that they don't care. Right wingers don't care about anyone other than themselves. Period.
There are countless articles from nurses and doctors that document how during the pandemic these vaccine deniers begged and pleaded for the vaccine AFTER it was too late and they were being placed on a ventilator (and most likely dying from COVID).
"I'm admitting young, healthy people to the hospital with very serious Covid infections," wrote Cobia in a Facebook post on Sunday.
"One of the last things they do before they're intubated is beg me for the vaccine. I hold their hand and tell them that I'm sorry, but it's too late," she added, referring to patients who have to be put on a ventilator.
Alabama public health officials recently reported 96% of Alabamians who have died of Covid since April were not fully vaccinated.

Now you might say, "Well, it's THEIR choice" and you're not wrong. But every hospital bed occupied by someone dying of COVID is not there for other patients. Doctors, nurses and supplies are used. Hospitals incur costs that might not be paid if the patient doesn't have insurance. That effects us all.
To see into a persons moral character look at how they react to the smallest inconvenience to save the life of a stranger. The pandemic exposed that in all of them.
