(Of course, I make exceptions for folks who have valid medical reasons for not doing so. ) I reserve my angry angst for the inconsiderate, politically-motivated refusers.

Friends remind me that the human race actually is becoming more enlightened---but you wouldn't know it by people's behaviour, lately.

I completely agree with you - and I live in Idaho, where 99% of my neighbors are unvaccinated and unmasked. That is why I have to pay extra money for N95 masks or better, and why I also wear goggles, double gloves (disposable under cheap cloth gloves from Target), a KN95 mask over my N95 mask, and clothing from head to toe - even covering my ears. I look "crazy," but at least I've not had to pay for exorbitant medical copays that everyone else around here has to pay because of their continued negligence and utter disdain for the disabled and the elderly.

Possible trigger:

I'm guessing at the 99% though. Apparently, our state has at least 45% vaccinated, but 99% don't wear masks - including both the vaccinated and unvaccinated. To them, it's a social and religious thing - which also irks me. Their "faith" is causing more pain than Godly love, and I just can't imagine "God's will" allowing people to die from preventable disease. But to each his and her own spiritual beliefs. I don't know whether I'm being religiously bigoted or not, though I'm sure many would see me as one around here. I'm also biased because of my spiritual and ritual abuses from the past.

Anyway, if this is not allowed, I put it inside a Trigger warning thingy. It can be deleted. I just don't know what is allowed to express, because religion has infiltrated politics and this pandemic and our overall mental health related to all of it.
