Yesterday was bought to you by the words vaccine, covidiot and bullying.
Fragile old lady at my till, mid-forties man moving forward close behind. I asked him to step back while the lady paid, as he was too close. I was treated to a lecture by the "gentleman" to a barrage of it's all a hoax there's no such thing as Covid blah blah blah... The lady looked up and silenced him with a quiet little voice saying " So it's a hoax is it? That's what my husband died of last month a hoax" I've never seen one of the bully boy covidiots look so sheepish. He backed off and once she'd gone he couldn't look at me. I served him and just gave him my Annie Walker look ( for those who don't know who Annie Walker was, it's a disapproving look)
That was on top of a heated discussion with a co-worker about the vaccine. Yes, it's ok to not want it, if that's your choice, but don't try scare tactics to get others not to. It's a shame that tabloid journalism and social media are believed wholesale, or that anti-vaxers use what suits their augment. The main point of contention was the 37 dead due to blood clots, personally I'd rather risk dying from a blood clot than I would having long covid. I know someone with long covid and believe me the long term effects are devastating and debilitating. It's all our choice. I've made mine, make yours, but don't bully anyone by trying to scare them.
