30. I just got my flu shot and the pharmacist

Lowered her voice saying she wasn't suppose to talk about things like this but we both talked about covid being worse because of Trumps leadership and I said I just read article from a epidemiologist in Spain who said we will have to wear masks for at least two years. she agreed and said when vaccines come in six months she is not taking it, going to wait for more well tested one.

I respect the small pharmacy I go to and the people who work there, this is first time ever any of them have said anything political. I could tell she was angry about President telling people not to wear a mask or distance.

I live in a conservative town in a blue state but I would have guessed they were moderate republicans by how they acted all the years I have been there.

she said when I asked about senior flu shot that it was a political stunt and it incensed her they would do that to seniors. She said they hyped it up saying they had this great shot for seniors but only gave the pharmacies a tiny bit of it. They only made a little of it.
