Anti- maskers and anti-vaxers should feel guilty about having made that choice as it exposes others of the same mindset to the risk of getting the virus.

We who vax and mask are pretty much out of the woods and not likely to infect our friends and family, but you others are a potential bunch of walking Typhoid Marys, spreading disaease and death as you tip toe through the Trumpish tulips.

I do not feel one bit guilty. If you are so afraid hide at home. I have a life to live. Nobody should feel guilty about living a normal life.

I'm living a normal, vaccinated life, free from worry.

Can you say the same?

When and if you get tightnees in the chest, fever and headache as the opening act, just remember these magic words: "Told ya so!"

You know that you are only 95% protected. Much safer than you were, but still a chance. The casinos are happy to exist on that 5% chance that you will be a loser.

Yes, I am aware of that.

I am also aware that "the science says" that if I do contract covid it will be much less problematic / symptomatic, with little if any risk of hospitalization / death.

I like those odds better than yours, but hey, we're both gamblin' men.

I get those symptoms on a regular basis and I have been vaccinated.

Really?

What's going on with you, health-wise?

What do the docs say?

I am just getting old and refuse to live a healthy lifestyle. I generally don't go to doctors anymore until I believe that I require surgery. After 24 surgeries I believe I am becoming a very good diagnostician.

Of course, they are doing the right thing by leaving the option up to you to get the vaccine or lose your job. They are completely within their rights unless you have a union contract or a bargaining agreement in place.
