I mean, I went ahead and got my shot. 🥳

So why are you acting so terrified then—and why the hostility toward people who aren't?

I went ahead with it because my daily life involves being in contact with hundreds of people for hours at a time.
I chose to get the shot mainly to minimize my chances of catching a severe case of the illness.

But I guess I'm not entirely certain, mostly because I'm still interacting daily with hundreds of unvaccinated people, which means I might still end up bringing this virus home to my unvaccinated kids. And please, don't start with the whole "but kids have mild symptoms" argument, because I really don't care about that—I just don't want my children to get sick. Period.
I'm uncertain because, honestly, it seems like there isn't much clear information out there regarding how long immunity lasts for those who were vaccinated.
And I'm also uneasy because, thanks to a massive crowd of unvaccinated fools who had the option but passed on it, we're basically leaving the door wide open for new variants—variants that my two doses might not even protect me against.

But then, how do you account for the fact that the exact same situation is playing out in countries where the vast majority of people actually *did* view it as a perfectly logical and reasonable decision?

Piggy, are you actually worried that being vaccinated means you won't end up infecting them—assuming they're all vaccinated, of course? I mean, based on how they're constantly disinfecting everything in their path, it seems like they are. It really goes to show that they're just as terrified as everyone else; it’s honestly frightening to see what they've done to people.

That’s exactly the point: nobody actually enjoys wearing a mask. People have complied simply because they’re rational and understand how rules work, but that doesn't mean they actually like it.

I find it absolutely hilarious how the anti-mask crowd acts like they’re some kind of special, delicate little flowers just because they feel more comfortable without one.

What an incredible comparison—honestly, the best one I've seen yet!

I was riding the subway today—just minding my own business, really—when I overheard a group of older women, all of whom are fully vaccinated, by the way, having this intense, heated discussion about some parents who made the choice to have their child vaccinated. It’s quite a sight, honestly—these ladies aren't exactly lacking in wits, either.

What a lovely little piece of journalism. I truly hope children from all the other states find the courage to follow in little Mara's footsteps.
