I have this inner disgust-recoil reaction every time I run into someone wearing one of these things. This is usually at the grocery store. Yesterday, I saw one of the younger employees there wearing it on his chin the entire time. My disgust-recoil reaction to this is WTF is wrong with people?

Burned into my mind is the image of the day my own sister stood less than 6 feet away from me, yelling "fuck you!!!!" at me through her mask, because I (being the only unvaccinated one in the bunch) was sitting in the living room, having a nice visit with our elderly parents.

As well, I will never forget HR at my office telling me that I alone, as the only stubbornly unvaccinated employee (though I should be grateful they didn't fire me for that?) would be required to mask up -- everyone else compliant with the urgings to jab has now earned the privilege of being able to go about their day mask-free in the common areas.

The whole time, knowing how absurd all of this was, and not being able to break through to any of them. Very twilight zone.

and I suppose the main thing, though, is that Fauci and quite a few of them knew this all the time, and this was all a big charade to them. Like they are gamers playing The Sims on the entire people of the world.

It should be obvious, those at the top would never take a “vaccine.”

Me too! My next door neighbor in this apartment complex still wears her blue useless (even harmful) mask every time she walks down the hallway. At least recently she has stopped wearing it when taking out the trash to the dumpster. It is pitiful to see someone in such fear.

Is it fear? Really? Or is it infatuation with virtue and being owned? Because this shines through with so many, especially those who - now - still cling to the only bearing in their universe. Is it the feeling that finally someone sees them and takes care of them in their unhappiness and loneliness, by acknowledging and praising them for standing on the right circle on the floor?
