The man who delivers my prescriptions is not vaccinated

He's a man in his mid-20s and said he's waiting to see how the whole thing works out.

How does someone who works for a pharmacy delivery medication to people not have to be vaccinated?

He does wear a mask and says that he and his wife are not afraid.

Fine!

But if you contract the virus, and can't breathe. Instead of visiting the hospital, and taking up limited space, just stay home, and see how it works out.

Fuck, the STUPIDITY Burns!

They should be cordoned off from the hospital and provided palliative care only in the parking garages and outside of the hospitals proper.

Choose not to vaccinate? Accept the consequences of your actions and inactions.
What the fuck happened to the party of personal responsibility?
I suggest these idiots start finding some bootstraps instead of ERs...

I am willing to bet that when he's off work, he doesn't go near a mask.

that the people getting infected by the virus are those who are not vaccinated.

It is not about fear either...it is about fundamental risk taking and assuming your risk is everyone else's problem.
It is not!!!

"Freedumb" stops at the point you exhale infectious particles into the air. Its not "fear" that causes people to mask up, it is compassion. Wearing a mask is not to protect the wearer from the virus like a security blanket...it is to prevent unconscious transmission of non-symptomatic infection from the vulnerable and the unvaccinated.

I may have COVID-19 unknowingly because my vaccinated status is suppressing viral expression to a level that my body will NOT become symptomatic at all...BUT, I MAY have viral particles in my exhales that WOULD infect others and possibly spread the disease further. The masks are to provide a barrier to transmission that would allow the slowed rate of vaccinations to catch up to what is needed to put the virus in the rearview mirror for good.

NOT wearing a mask, as a vaccinated person is all about the other people...NOT getting vaccinated is preventing the eradication of COVID-19 and prolonging this until more people die unnecessarily or until the virus can mutate to a form that evades the current vaccines enough to restart the pandemic without an effect counter-measure.

Not getting vaccinated at this point confirms to me that the person is an imbecile and a dangerous one that employers should realize may end up costing them quite dearly in the future lawsuits to come.

9. If at all possible I'd explore other options.

Call and let the pharmacist know your concerns and your plan to

1) seek other delivery options even if that means taking your money elsewhere and

2) broadcast far and wide to everyone you know, especially those that use their pharmacy and the delivery service in particular, that they have unvaccinated/antivaccinated people who are putting their customers and the customer's families at risk of infection, hospitalization and death.

Good luck!

God, such a selfish child.

Is he afraid for his Mom? His Grampa?
