non-responders
Those who ignore
Non-responders are people who fail to respond to something—typically a medical treatment, a survey, or an outreach attempt.
In clinical contexts, non-responders don't show improvement from a drug or therapy that works for others: About 30% of patients were non-responders to the medication.
In research, non-responders are those who don't return questionnaires or answer calls, potentially skewing results.
