My state’s vaccine rules are tightening and although I welcome this, and hope it bumps up the number of vaxxed citizens and ends this goddamn pandemic sometime this century, I feel for the underpaid and over-stressed front of the house folks who will be taking the brunt of the anti-science crowd's unhappiness.
I welcome it because I’m still not comfortable dining indoors, or riding a crowded bus, or being among a lot of unmasked people for very long. Too many of my friends have had breakthrough infections and I’m getting along fine ordering takeout or having a drink on an outdoor patio or doing a walk-and-talk around the neighborhood.
But
I
already
know
of
one
teenage
worker
who
got
yelled
at
for
asking
for
proof
of
vaccination.
I
saw
an
unmasked
jabroni
stomp
into
the
Longhouse
Deli
in
Discovery
Bay
Saturday,
past
TWO
signs
that
masks
were
required,
sporting
a
t-shirt that
said,
“I
wanted
to
be
a
liberal
for
Halloween
but
I
couldn’t
get
my
head
far
enough
up
my
ass.”
No points for subtley. Also, come on brah. Much of my family in the Midwest is not getting vaxxed and I can’t help but think this polarization hurts all of us, really, and helps—whom? The richy-rich’s getting wealthy off political donations and scream-media, I guess.
