What had happened was…
I noticed a lot of guilt and trepidation around people admitting they got the vaccine. Few people simply say, “I’m vaccinated.” Most add a reason – an explanation. “My husband is immunocompromised and I’m his caretaker. It would be so unsafe for him if I brought the virus home…” “My work became re-categorized as essential work because people need to have their documents notarized, even during a pandemic.” I sit there and go, “I’m not judging. I do not question anyone’s desire to protect themselves and their loved ones.” It’s been interesting that the vaccine has created this subtext that’s become this odd discussion of: who is most entitled to protect their lives?
