Well I guess it was bound to happen eventually.
I just went to get this year's covid booster and they set me up with an antivax pharmacist.
She tried to talk me out of getting it, telling me "You know these don't actually do anything, right? Right?" And I just sorta sat there dumbfounded so she kept going.
"Remember when New York fired all those people for not getting vaccinated?" and I sat there. "Remember that? Didn't you hear about that?"
"Yes."
"Well the Supreme Court just ruled that there's no evidence that the vaccines even do anything, so they decided all those fired people are owed back pay and their jobs back. So all those people who were just making their own individual choices are gonna be coming back to work anyway, and who do you think is paying for that??"
I continued to sit there dumbfounded trying so damn hard to not tell her exactly what I think about the current Supreme Court and their fucking rulings.
She went on, "Well you know, you look like a really smart guy. I'm surprised you don't know more about this. You really should read more. I can give you some things to read about if you'd like to be more educated about this."
"Just the shot please, thanks."
"Well why are you even getting this? Why do you want it? I mean I'll give it to you if you want but it doesn't stop you from getting covid, just makes it slightly less severe when you do get it."
"I still want it."
"Okay then." She gave me the shot. "Oh and by the way, you know that mask doesn't do anything either, right? I mean it's real cute that you like to wear it but it doesn't actually do anything."
I stood up and walked out. She kept saying "You should read more!!" while I was walking away. Got into the truck with my dad (he was with me to get his booster too) and I told him all this. He said "Oh geez, you too, huh? Yeah she gave me the same spiel. She musta rehearsed it or something."
The pharmacist. Told my dad. Who is 77 years old and has lung trouble already. That the covid vaccine doesn't do anything and there's no reason for him to get it.
What the fuck, America.
What in the absolute fuck.
