My little sister is a nurse in a hospital that specifically caters to heart/lung things. I talked with her today a bit about the covid vaccine and how I felt guilty signing up for it when I’m absurdly low risk and she didn’t even hesitate when telling me to GET IT.

Apparently they’re seeing a lot of high risk people not getting the vaccine because of microchips or what the fuck ever the conspiracy theory of the week is. By getting the vaccine, even if you’re low risk, you’re protecting those who are gullible enough to reject it because FacebookDotEagleDotTrump said it’s BAD (and those who might have a legitimate medical reason not to.)

Anyways. Get the vaccine. Protect dumb boomers & MAGAs whether they like it or not. My little sister is tired of watching grandmas die because Quanon said the gubernment was gonna track their casseroles.

This just singlehandedly erased all my remaining guilt about getting the vaccine in rural GA, thnk u

Just to add onto this, I’ve had friends telling me they feel guilty for getting vaccinated before me, even though I’m high risk and they’re not. So I’m going to tell you what I told them: by getting vaccinated you are protecting me.

You are protecting me and every other vulnerable person who either can’t get vaccinated for health reasons, or who is unable to get the vaccine at present because wait times are a mess. Please do not feel guilty about getting vaccinated before vulnerable people, you are still helping us. You are not taking spots from us, you are contributing to making society safer for both yourself and the vulnerable people in your life. Do not hesitate because you don’t feel vulnerable enough. Do it for the people in your life who are.

Thank you.
