16. I am so sorry, too - and I'm also glad that you found this safe space

I have run across a couple of people who were suspicious of the vaccine, but I was fortunate to be able to ignore them - or give them a wide berth. My friend and I used to go to a local meeting which was run by a woman who was anti vaxx and anti mask, she got into an argument with another woman about it, so we just stopped going.

And some of these people really are deluded - early on I was having a conversation with a couple of people about when and where we managed to get vaccinated when an older gentleman overheard us and said that his daughter, who is a nurse at the local hospital, would quit her job if she had to get vaccinated - turned out that later on the hospital dismissed anyone who worked there who refused. And this same gentleman added that his granddaughters weren't getting vaccinated, either, in case they wanted to have children someday! He really said that.

So the crazies are out there, we're glad that you found us.
