My dad is upset with me that I'm not going to take the vaccine once it gets offered to my age group in my postal code. Why the fuck do I need it for? My dad got the jab 22 days ago. He should be immune or at least have protection versus the virus. Our society is mentally ill. The case fatality rate in my age group is <0.02%. The case-hospitalization rate is 1.05% (the vast majority of which are acute care admissions, not ICU). And I'm not obese or immuno-compromised. There are more landwhales in my age group as a percentage than there are people in my age group who end up in acute care with COVID as a percentage. Let that sink in.
Mostly the younger ones on TikTok and Instagram. And some boomers. But mostly the younger generations.
I’m a last year boomer and I couldn’t give a fuck about Covid. I’m only getting a vaccine if I need it to continue traveling and living my life. Otherwise no way. But many of my peers are lining up to get it. They also look at me strangely when I tell them I haven’t slowed down. I’m in Bali now. Just bought a ticket to Brazil where I’ll spend June and July. Winter in SP is beautiful - better than a Canadian summer.
