A few important nots:
- hospice is not a place
- palliative care is not hospice
- talking about death does not make people give up or die
- at the end of life food does not make you stronger
- taking morphine for advanced cancer pain does not mean you’re dying/an addict/giving up

Just a reminder:

All vaccines used in public health have been rigorously tested. Their benefits greatly outweigh their risks. While a few people have a medical reason for not taking vaccines, most people (and the population overall) will benefit. Doctors who claim otherwise are irresponsible.
