Most people we know in real life, want what Emily wants, for us to just accept them back and move on. But we won't forget.

I won't forget the friends who blocked me on Facebook after they demanded I wear an effing mask and get the effing vaccine. I also won't forget the odd hypocrisy of family get togethers at Thanksgiving and Christmas extolling the virtues of masks and vaccines while being unmasked, and at least interacting among a filthy plage-spreader that I was. Show some intellectual consistency why don't you...or be like me.

I won't forget the doctor's visit where I was asked if I was vaccinated and after underlining why I was not going to get a vaccine, received an anemic response that was bereft of logic and clarity. BY MY DOCTOR.

And those are some of the things I won't forget. I thought I would be content and finally being heard, but it's not even in the near or beginning vicinity of enough.

I hear you! I am reliving a sense of rage and betrayal this week that I didn’t realize was still active.

I think it rises in opposition to the sea of excuses and rationalizations. Also it is becoming clearer and clearer how much disaster these policies have been visited upon us.
