was shopping earlier today, overheard a customer talking to an employee about "we'll do [idk what..] with the unvaccinated", both laughing.
shit is turning ugly quick and people don't even see it. it's amazing and frightening to watch.
i'm near the point of "fingers crossed for omicron hitting the vaccinated hard" to have the bullshit stop. maybe ADE is real after all.
sucks if people get ill of course, but if this general mood in the population continues we'll have good old lynchings next xmas :/
@bonifartius There is still the huge possibility that you're overreacting and they were making a dumb gallows joke, without literal gallows.
And in turn you're wishing doom and gloom on the vaccinated. Why wouldn't I treat you the same as you treat those dumb jokesters?
@trinsec i don't wish doom on anyone, i wrote that i feel like i'm on the verge. it's insane that such jokes are now considered "gallows humor", even if it's clearly group based hostility like "the unemployed", "alcoholics", etc. i have read/heard once too often that it's "cleansing" (and other things) if unvaccinated (for whatever reason) die. just look on twitter. those things get _ no_ repercussion and many likes.
this society only disgusts me now. it's all lies and greed, from top to bottom. janus reigns. i just want to be left alone. i have no real contact with anyone outside my household anymore for two years, as i don't really want covid (even if i think i had it early in 2020) and everyone has gone insane anyway. i honestly am on the brink of madness too.
the whole thing has one good, at least i now can remotely comprehend how it is to be discriminated for being member of "group".

> Having concerns about mrna-vaccines isn't new. Freemo had the same. He went with a vector-vaccine (Johnsson) instead. He got a vaccine later too (only a few months ago?). Having concerns about 'new' vaccination methods (mrna is a bit older than most people realise) doesn't make you a bad person.
vector too is new, i discussed that with freemo recently. mrna technology isn't new, but every attempt at building vaccines with it were unsuccessful (like the current ones are after a few months). that's why biontech was nearly bankrupt before covid.
> Though you'll find to have less and less excuse nowadays, heh. Just recently the novavax vaccine got approved in the EU, which is even more traditional than mrna and vector.
i don't seek excuses, it's called informed consent. like i've written, i might have taken novavax as it isn't an active (compared to mrna/vector) vaccine. i would have taken sinovac (which has been available in many parts of the world for a long time now..) my inclination doesn't grow with each of these occurences though.

I understand having concerns at the start. But as time goes on, and more is known and more ways to get vaccinated are available.. *Shrug*
