32. I'm on sabbatical--- Xray/CT tech with minor immunocompromise. I'm vaxxed but wary

I've received missiles from colleagues that there's quite an uproar at two past facilities now requiring vaccinations.
(oh, do I know the ilk they're referring to--- Trumpers all)
While I wholeheartedly agree, I feel no empathy for caregivers who have dug in their heels about this anti-scientific crap, endangering patients and staff alike. Seems entirely hypocritical to me. These anti-science dipwads can go find some ignorant place to work. It will make me far more comfortable once I return to work.
I suffered through the COVID early in the pandemic before any vaxx was available and before we even knew what it was made me sick. I wouldn't wish such fate on the most idiotic "enemy".
