13. Here in the heart of idiot country, I've cancelled

medical appointments because I don't trust the nurses and other staff to get themselves vaccinated. Plus Covid-19 is everywhere again and of course no one wears masks and everyone who isn't sick or in the hospital is acting like there is no pandemic.

So, I am just putting off appointments until there is a decline in number of deaths. We are up to death levels about equal to last July and it's still killing those of us who are over 60 even in breakthrough cases.

I don't understand why a nurse would study to become a nurse if they don't believe in science? Even the Catholic Nuns I knew who worked in hospitals believed in the germ theory.
