Yep, I live in the fair city you describe. Due to my medical history, I declined injection and then did my own non-NPR/mainstream news or medicine research. I sought a medical exemption at a Harvard-affiliated hospital and was denied by my new, young, afraid-to-lose-his-job PCP.

It amazes me to see how many people including college students - and Boston is chock full of colleges/universities - are wearing masks outside. Yes, sometimes you forget to take it off when you exit a building or it's easier to just leave it on if you're going to another indoor establishment (yet much more difficult to breathe) but it seems people still fear getting "it" outside. I've been tempted to stop people while outside on a beautiful sunny fall day and ask them why, why, why are you wearing a mask? Sigh. The restaurant/bar rules are just silly. I cannot visit my former neighborhood watering hole as only fully injected folks are allowed. Whatever "fully V'd" means this week.
It is indeed alarming. Most highly educated people around here prefer to comply, have no interest in doing their own research, and accept everything the TV or radio/NPR or NYT says as gospel truth. Anything that is not firmly "pro-V" or inline with the accepted narrative is the work of "conspiracy theorists". If you don't willingly line up for injections X3, even with valid medical conditions, you are branded an "anti-vaxxer" - a fate worse than death, apparently. Lemmings indeed, waiting for Dr. F to tell them what is allowed for Thanksgiving while pointing their terrified fingers at folks like me.
Thanks for sharing, SomeChick. After being here for just a few days, the feeling of intense pressure to conform is almost palpable. The sheeple rule this town. I head back to Illinois today, and despite King (aka Gov) Pritzker's never ending mask mandates and emergency orders, many establishments are just ignoring them or not enforcing them. Good luck, and consider moving to NH!
