as long as the pandemic is going and you have access to the vaccine, you are in a situation whether you like it or not where you are either vaccinated, or a significant danger to those around you

you don’t really get to pretend your choice doesn’t say anything about who you are

@kat There is no valid reason to refuse to get vaccinated, and anyone who refuses is why people are still dying.

"I'm not obligated to get a vaccine or mask up"

Fuck you, I'm not obligated to catch a deadly disease because you don't give a fuck about other people.

@artemis some people have conflicting health or socioeconomic issues or are immunocompromised, but I guess I wouldn’t really qualify that as a refusal exactly

@kat We don't consider a refusal the same thing as an "inability to receive"

@kat It's one thing to say "I can't have the vaccine, there are factors involved which mean receiving the vaccine would put my life at risk, but I will still take precautions against spreading anything"

That's acceptable, we can respect that.

What we can't respect is "Nah, I don't wanna get the vaccine because blah blah bullshit reasons, I don't have to take any precautions because I'm a snowflake blah blah"

That sort of shit is why we're still all in this mess.

@wigglytuffitout restating my offer to straight up drive cross-country to someone's house, drive them to the appointment, hold their hand, distract them while they get the shot, and buy them dinner afterward if that's what it takes

@magicalmilly @wigglytuffitout literally braver than the troops tbh

@kat I agree with you, sir/ma'am/human being.

@Ertain two of those are incorrect
