Guarding the entrance to Costco today was an overweight he/she/it wearing a mask and holding a sign that said, “flu shots $19.98.” I said, “Pushing poisons today, I see.” He/she/it gave me the stink eye but I didn’t get the full effect ‘cause of the mask. I don’t care, I am totally out of fucks to give.

The amount of cognitive dissonance it must take to get a flu shot astounds me. A nurse chastised me for not getting a flu shot when I was pregnant with kid 2 (a winter baby in a "bad flu season"). She proceeded to tell me, proudly and with a straight face, that she and her husband (also a nurse) and their two kids had all had their flu shots...and because they had those shots, when they all got the flu (yes, all four of them still got the flu, verified of course by nasal swab), it wasn't as bad as it would have been if they hadn't gotten them.
My boss "I don't think I'm going to get another covid booster, but I'm definitely getting my flu shot this year" loll
