I hate people lately
Seeing the news about how the willfully unvaccinated are spreading COVID variants to those of us who are fully vaccinated is just steaming me up today. I'm on immunosuppressants so we're not sure how strong my immunity is despite being double vaccinated since March. Also, since I was double vaccinated in March, will I need a booster? Yes, the vaccine is supposed to prevent serious hospitalizations and death and those numbers are good, but being on immunosuppressants means I might be one of those people who isn't as protected. I'm not your standard patient. And it makes me so angry because we HAD access here. We had a great rollout, people just won't get it. It makes me so angry and I don't trust anyone.
You can do everything in your power to stay healthy - exercise, eat a balanced diet, no smoking, limited alcohol consumption, regular checkups and bloodwork to treat proactively - and it can be all for nothing because other people don't give a shit.
Normally this level of quick anger is something I might expect to be hormone related, but that's just over and so I think this is the bubbling up of a long simmering stew of being frustrated and upset with my country, state, and county for a long time. Since 2016 I've been more cynical, but the last two years has definitely amped up the pressure and anxiety and anger. I know I'm not alone and this is a national problem - everyone is mad at everyone else, we're all convinced we're right - but in the case of medical science that's affecting THE ENTIRE WORLD I think I'm going to go ahead and say that I'm on the right side of the argument to get vaccinated here.
That's all - just pissed off today for what I think is a legitimate reason to be angry.
