He went on and on that he wanted to show others that they were foolish if they didn't do the same. I asked, "What about the experts who now say it's unnecessary?" No change in his opinion. He simply wanted to show others his superiority by wearing two masks. He also wanted to "shame others" into doing the same. Yes, he actually said that...
Then, he started in that he wanted the government to develop an app that would alert others if they were near anyone who had not been vaccinated. He had no concept of privacy, no concern for HIPAA regulations. "Just change them" was his solution...
When I asked him, "What about those without a smart phone?", he said "they should be forced to get one, and that the government should issue them if they couldn't afford one"...
Hell, half of my patients can barely use a regular cell phone (my patient population skews much older), so a smart phone is off the table for many of them...

Umm, Firstly, you need to fix your quote box there (#76), it's showing that GE's quote was made by me. Secondly, any discussion about why/why not vaccinate is simply lost on each other. "They" aren't going to change my mind and I'm not going to change their's. So I try really really hard not to jump into those discussions. Instead, I laugh at the fools who think the vaccine will protect them, even when after being vaccinated they still contract and still pass the bug. When after being vaccinated, they're told to still mask up, still social distance, and get in line for a third jab. I'm kidding! Kind of. But not really. I don't laugh at them. Point being, you do you and let me do me. Why can't "they" just get that?
