I remained unvaccinated. What chills me to this day is watching loved ones, friends, work colleagues, hell, joe bloggs in the street foaming at the mouth over 'the unvaccinated'. I was terrified that I was going to hear a knock at the door and be carted off somewhere for not being vaccinated. Listening to colleagues ranting about the unvaccinated, how they should be ashamed of themselves, selfish disease spreading 'anti - vaxxers'. People saying unvaccinated shouldn't get hospital treatment or even be allowed to work. It was like mass cult hysteria. My children potentially being refused education because they were not vaccinated. I saw the absolute worst in people, it was like every man for themselves. Colleagues gleefully telling me they only got the vaccs so they could go on holiday, not for the greater good, yet I was the selfish one.
I saw a morbidly obese couple standing outside the chippy the other day, eyeing up the menu wearing facemasks, oh the irony.
People speak about Nazism and the annihilation of Jewish people, how they can't understand how it happened. But I completely see how it happened. And that scares me.
I'm even reading Stephen Kings latest book, and it's unbelievable. An unvaccinated care worker spreads Covid around and kills all the old folk. An unvaccinated Trump supporter dies of Covid but her vaccinated brother lives. It's disgusting.
