This man is an antivaxxer and helped kill his wife by forcing her not to get vaccinated.

How did he force her to not get vaxxed?
Domestic abuse isn't just physical violence, it can also include manipulation, coercion, and other forms of control.
It sounds like he still thinks he's in the right and upset that she blamed him
I was saying that he is an abuser, just not necessarily a physically violent one. His abuse and control prevented her from getting the vaccine.
oh please lets not pretend she was probably just as nuts
OP has said elsewhere in the thread that they knew this couple at the time and she did not have a meaningful say in the situation. She was threatened with divorce if she had gotten the vaccine. For a lot of women, their economic situations are such that a sudden divorce would likely lead to poverty and homelessness as well as loss of meaningful support for any of their children.
eh, she had a way out. i dont have a lot of sympathy
Then you don't have a very good understanding of what domestic abuse situations are actually like. I hope that you can expand your understanding through empathetic learning and that you don't have to learn via personal or close vicarious experience.
