My aunt carol (70 years old) who worked as a phlebotomist for years and as a medical transcriptionist for years told me over the phone yesterday that she was all excited Andre got his first Covid-19 vaccine that day because she was finally able to spend the day with him without a mask

and I’m like only his FIRST shot?! and he JUST got it?!

like you do know he has to have both of the shots and even then he’s gotta wait a couple weeks for HIM to be safe

but YOU’RE still not safe because YOU’RE not vaccinated?!

She was like yeah but he had the shot!

My mom overheard us and she said “does getting a flu shot help the guy next to you who didn’t get a flu shot?”

Aunt Carol was quiet for the longest time.

I said something about true herd immunity vs ONE person in your life who got ONE dose of a 2-dose vaccine for something when only about 60% of the US population is fully vaccinated for it and she was like

oh yeah that was stupid of me

The worst part is everyone else living in the house AND in Andre’s house thought the same thing.

And then they wonder why I refuse to let them in my house and why I’m still wearing a mask and staying away from people.
