It seems to me that many of those who refuse to get vaccinated due to ideological reasons are also the type of people who cannot say sorry or admit fault. Like the story a DUer told recently about a family Christmas party that ended with the elderly mother dying to Covid and the response was that she could have gotten it from anywhere.

in response to some lame tiktok video of a "nurse" proudly claiming she lost her job because of her refusal to get the shot.

What I posted:

Being proud of one's stupidity is no way to go through life. If that is her attitude I don't want her working in my local hospital. Get the shots, wear the mask. Love means never having to say "I'm sorry I didn't get vaccinated."

And in other places with wide distribution and exposure.

ESPECIALLY that last sentence.

Plus, it is way more romantic than, "I've had my shots."

And I did not:
stick to any metal surfaces
get tailed by men in black helicopters
change due to embedded chip reprogramming
have a demonic tattoo appear anywhere on my body
die or get pregnant
