    It also seems like most people think that if they are vaccinated they can ignore it entirely.

    Vaccinated individuals still experience the first stages of infection and still develope a high enough viral load to be contagious. The vaccines are effective at decreasing the duration and severity of infection, but they can’t prevent it entirely.

    People who know they were exposed should still isolate for a few days even if they are vaccinated.

    Thanks for reminding me I need to start wearing masks again.

      Yup, covid really did ramp up the ableism in society to a whole new level…

      It’s not only that people think that because they didn’t feel that bad or have long term side-effects, covid simply isn’t that bad or have serious long term side effects, so in their own minds they not only don’t need to make any effort to protect themselves, never mind others (mostly already marginalised people they prefer to ignore in everyday life, so why not now), they also have a new (and constantly growing) group of people to scapegoat and gaslight and tell it isn’t really that bad because it wasn’t that bad for them, and that they should just “suck it up”.

      I won’t even start on the part capitalism and the governments and media who uphold and serve it have played in making it this way, and how a desperate and divided population benefits them, which is why they’re never going to do anything about it…

      The more you look the worse it gets…
