"He did everything right by triple jabbing himself" and yet somehow caught Covid after 18 months of avoiding it ... these darn unvaccinated people
⚠️ Vax-tarded ☠️
His wife told KFOR unvaccinated people and those who refuse to wear masks put people like Ted in jeopardy.
She’s hoping his story will help change hearts and minds.
There is some of that, some other bits to it.
Most people I work with consider me a really smart person. I'm specifically paid for my critical thinkings skills in an IT/engineering/consulting type industry. I know most of the stuff for COVID isn't super accurate, etc.
That said, I also know probability and risk assessment.
I'm not vaccinated, but will still wear an N95 in public and go out less than once a month on average since COVID. For me it is like the "betting man's take on God" which basically says any intelligent person should believe in God because the odds vs outcomes say it is the correct play.
While I have a sub-1% chance of a negative COVID experience, the 1% chance is being dead with the tradeoff being I get to stay home and avoid people, most of whom are terrible morons anyway.
I get to work from home saving 2 hrs a day unpaid commuting. I get to avoid being guilted into social gatherings that I'm bored and uncomfortable at anyway. I get to have stuff delivered to my house or brought out to my car, often for free vs the old days of having to justify a big delivery fee.
I generally avoid talking to people about COVID to avoid the risk of losing my job or being attacked or some shit. If you and I were casual acquaintances you might think I'm a CNN moron because I'm masking and isolating. You'd probably guess I was vaccinated based on my other behavior.
I wonder how many other people like me are out there. When I feel hopeful, I hope there are lots of people like me.
