My niece and her trumpy hubby plan to stay with me for a week around Christmas. I notified them last week, Hey, if you want to stay with me in December, you both need to be fully vaccinated! I will require proof.

COVID stupidity is unlike anything I’ve ever seen.

If this was the 1950’s there’d be a shitload of factories producing leg braces, crutches, and iron lungs.

I have returned to what I was doing when the pandemic began. I am masked anytime I am outside my house (if I am anywhere outdoors where other people might be present, or anywhere indoors at all) or the four walls of my office. I am once again not eating indoors (except at home, obviously) and after the joy of seeing two movies in the theatres in June, am also once again not doing that. I only go to the grocery store when I am absolutely certain that there is just about no one else there (the seven a.m. on Sunday morning visit or after 9:30 p.m. on a Monday or Tuesday night is big for me). We've gone back to the proverbial "square one" because, as Bob noted, of the Covid stupidity in this country.

I've been fully vaxxed (Pfizer) since early March and yet given the data that is coming out with respect to the waning effectiveness of Pfizer vaccine after six months and the high transmissibility of the Delta Variant (my neighbour, who was also fully vaxxed as of March with the Pfizer vaccine, got it at the beginning of this month and was laid up for over three weeks), I am as concerned and cautious as I was in March of last year.

Thank you Amee. I wish I had read this before my heated conversation with 2 close family members who still refuse to get vaccinated. S😔 That letter is perfect. Your mom is great. Stay safe and well. 💜

Thank you for re-posting this informative, timely reminder that we do not HAVE to suffer the unvaccinated among us. Even if they're family. This isn't like Uncle Bob's reprehensible tendency to champion dubious Republicans. This is a matter of, quite literally in many cases, life and death. It should be framed that way when one speaks to one's unvaccinated relatives - "Gosh, I'm sorry you're not going to get the vaccination, can I please have Great-Grandpa's watch if you catch it and die?"

Okay, so that's not exactly kosher, but it *might* wake 'em up? Or not. Anyway...

HAPPY BIRTHDAY AMEE!!!!!!!!!!

I tweeted you, but the Tweeter is not working here in MI, so I thought I'd just leave this here.

<3
