Would you date a guy who is unvaccinated but going out clubbing?

[Appalonia]

I met a guy recently who is not having the vaccine because he has prostate cancer. He's not anti vax but has been told by holistic therapists that it's best for his condition if he doesn't. He's going off to a big club in London on Friday night and wants to see me on Sunday. I was initially ok with this but on reflection I'm not sure it's a good idea. I have luckily managed to avoid Covid so far and just don't know whether seeing this guy is bringing an unnecessary risk into my life? I've only met him once, he's perfectly nice, but I just don't know what to do. Any objective advice would be very much appreciated!

I wouldn't date him just from the fact he goes clubbing 😂

You're less likely to catch it than he is so from that perspective it wouldn't bother me that much. However, the fact that he is taking COVID advice from a holistic therapist and choosing to put himself at risk, particularly when he has cancer, would make me think he's a bit of an idiot, so I wouldn't find that attractive enough to want to date.

You can still catch and transmit Covid19 even if you’re double jabbed. The non-vaccinated are more at risk than the vaccinated. You are only protecting yourself, not others.

Less likely to catch it though.

I wouldn’t continue to see someone who felt a holistic therapist knew best about the Covid vaccine & his long term health.

Exactly

He's demonstrating really poor judgement here if his oncologist hasn't corroborated the advice. That would turn me straight off.

I understand he's having a very difficult time and hence is likely trying any source of 'help', but he's putting himself at a high level of risk by prioritising that over medical science which is what we have the most evidence for in terms of successful outcomes, not holistic therapies.

Some of these quacks are criminals though, advising a cancer patient not to take the covid vaccine.

It is irrational to be afraid of the vaccine but finding it ok to go clubbing.

It seems that he makes his own rules to fit his lifestyle. Bad omen.

I’m not going to judge anyone’s reasons for vaccine hesitancy. But I do judge people who don’t take precautions against catching or spreading it. I think it’s selfishness to a pathological level not to care about who you might kill, or taking up a bed in ICU.

It would be a no from me.

“Told by holistic therapists”. Righty-ho....

No, i wouldn’t.

This.

I wouldn't date him because he doesn't sound very bright. The covid risk, whilst there, would bother me less.
