I just read an NBC article:

"Juarez said many of his hospitalized Covid-19 patients are "shocked" that Covid-19 truly exists and that it can make people very sick and even kill them. "A comment they make all the time is that they wish that they knew they were going to end up in the hospital this sick and they would have made a different choice and got the vaccine," he said.

Eric Frederick, chief administrative officer for Mercy Hospital Springfield, has also encountered patients who are extremely dismissive of or who flat-out deny the existence of Covid-19."

Where have these people been for the last 18 months? Were they not watching what happened in New York? Boggles my mind.
(Apparently they pay attention to the Russian trolls and anti-vaxxers I regularly encounter on Facebook.)

Denial is always an option of choice until the reality hits home. This is true of so many things in life - "it is not true so I don't have to do anything."

My parents have resumed going to church in person. My mother says if despite being vaccinated she gets covid that you have to die of something and at 80 she's already lived a decade past three score and ten.

I assume that everyone that wants a vaccine has gotten one so am only wearing a mask if required. I keep one in my purse and one in my car. My friend said most everyone in California is wearing one inside and in Nevada they aren’t. I do feel sorry for the people that can’t get the vaccine for various health reasons.

Or for access reasons. I'm still waiting (after about a month) for a response for our mobile vaccination team. Even a "we're thinking of you" would have been nice...

Health reasons and access reasons are the only sympathetic reasons. And access reasons is fundamentally a failure of government. And I'm tired of individuals having to "make up for" (and they can't really) failure of government, so everyone has to wear masks for 2 years although we now have vaccines, because those programs that should exist to do everything possible to get people vaccinated haven't. Bah.

Oh once in awhile I'll get motivated to put one on, usually I don't. It's true many people in CA still are wearing masks.

Wait…didn’t you get the vaccine?

I got the vaccine--but not from a mobile unit.
I Ubered to a pharmacy. Fully vaxxed since Thursday.

you didn’t cancel with the mobile unit?

I didn't get a chance to schedule with them, or I would have.
