Rambling Thoughts and Inner Musings

Random thoughts and inner musings while going through my day to day life.

It's been awhile since I've been on here or the other site I frequent and a lot has changed, most specifically Covid and the regulations surrounding it which I am all for! I most definitely want to go back to "normal", but is it wrong for me to be turned off by someone who hasn't even got a single vaccine? 

Before y'all start attacking me, I live on the East Coast of Canada and I got both vaccines and a booster because of the natural of my job and for certain members of my family. I also have a low immune system (literally any bug that was going around, you can be guaranteed I would catch it). Not only that, as of December 2021, vaccines were mandatory if you were working with the public or you wanted to enter public places.  

Long story short: I've been talking to someone for awhile now and we have been trying to make plans to meet up but since I'm travelling to another province next week it just wasn't working out so we were going to wait until I got back. 

Fast forward to tonight and I see a news article about how Canadians will be required to get a booster every 9 months to be "fully vaxxed". I made a comment about how I'm not getting another one but I felt like crap from the 3 that I had and didn't want to have a repeat of it. That's when he said "f*** the vaccine, I never got either one and don't plan on getting it." 

He's a sweet person, easy to talk to and we had all kinds of plans but I literally ruined all of that by saying how I don't feel comfortable meeting up with him due to the nature of my job and the fact that he isn't vaxxed. 

Of course his attitude completely changed and he went from being sweet to snotty. In a way I guess I'm kinda glad I got to see the "pissed off" version of him before meeting becauseit wasnt pretty. I mean...I don't blame him, I'd be pissed too but don't take you anger out on me over the fact that you didn't get vaccinated. 

Maybe I'm just overthinking it and the past 2 years has me brainwashed, who knows, but I'm not going to risk my elderly grandparents life nor the ones I work with over a guy I don't know. 

- just my 2 cents 

SirsBabyDoll​(sub female){Pizza+☕} - Do not feel shame over your requirements. I work in the grocery industry, stocking shelves and dealing with the public (once the store opens). You aren't just protecting yourself, but everyone else. You don't know what someone is dealing with or who they are coming in contact with. Infants, cancer treatment patients, AIDS patients...this isn't a fucking head cold. This is serious and it kills.

Stick to your guns and be a protector for the person you DO NOT KNOW. To me, that makes us heros, not weak minded.

I'm double vaxxed AND double boosted. I have a 14 year old son and while he lives with his grandmother (who I hate with every ounce of my soul), I don't want to give it to HIM and use him as a biological weapon. He MAY NOT get seriously I'll, but she would and he would end up feeling guilt for bringing it to her.

It's not just the disease, but the emotional impact as well.

Stay true to you and I'm sorry that his values didn't align with yours.
