In the last pandemic, we couldn't get people to wear a mask sometimes without them losing their shit.

Should we have all stopped wearing masks because some people refused to? Should we all be anti-vacc because some people are?

If you're so constantly focused on your perceived enemies that you fill your time and mental energy with trying to tear them down, then yeah, you're going to lose sight of what you're reaching for in the first place. Change yourself first, and as you live by your own word, your example in and of itself has at least some automatic impact on changing others - even if those changes are gradual and take time.

Don't lose sight of the fact that even a single person changing their diet will have less risk of death because of that.
