How can someone whose job takes them into others' homes and spends significant time there expect to be allowed to be unvaccinated? That's just stupid.

I really wonder how those fools managed not to get covid repeatedly already.

then told me he was unvaccinated. I talked to him about how important it was that he get the shot but he was unconvinced. I guess there is such a shortage of handymen here that he can still get work.

What did she say?

You're only doing what you have to do to protect the people in your household. If she relents and gets vaccinated, you're doing a wonderful thing for her, too.

a few dollars less but no SS or car fare. But she does a great job for us.

But, this lady my wife really likes is vaxxed, since May. (Mid April was the soonest she could go for the first shot, because she's only 45. Today it wouldn't matter the age, but it did 6 months ago.) Her whole family, including her 16 year old daughter, is vaxxed.
She's got an actual business license, so she covers SS both as individual & as employer.
But, we don't live in NYC, so everybody is happy with thirty bucks.

She came to be known as Typhoid Mary. Quarantined by the courts and even went to jail, but she still kept changing her name to get those jobs.
