41. Yes. Watching the fiasco with people who have no medical reason to not get vaccinated
Mon Jul 19, 2021, 11:12 PM
Jul 2021

for Covid really tests one’s empathy. One part of me is begging them to get vaccinated for THEIR OWN sake, but another part of me is screaming that they are knowingly choosing their fate and if that fate is death from COVID19 or a lifetime of Covid induced ailments for them, then so be it. I am getting to the point where I am tuning out what is happening the pandemic striking the unvaccinated, I am fully vaxxed and still wear my mask in cases where I am unsure of the vaccine status of people that will be around me, that increasingly is all that I care about, my family members are vaxxed.
