From an Edmontonian…

While I’m not here to argue or anything along those lines, I do have to mention your fourth point. I did not receive the vaccine due to medical concerns (advised by my family doctor). The social result of this was actually quite stark. My coworkers verbally berated me, a portion of my family refused to speak to me, and many of my friends shit on me as well. One of them went so far as to offer to beat me.

Regardless of your stance on vaccination, please recognize a lot of people made the choice they felt was safer for them, whether medically advised or not, and this seriously did result in backlash and “REAL oppression.”

Again, not endorsing Danielle, but just wanted to point out that just because I’m unvaccinated it doesn’t mean I deserve to be treated as a second class citizen.
