I travelled all over the country in 2020 and 2021, unvaxxed. I flew, I stayed at hotels. I drove, I ate in restaurants. There are those near my hometown that stuck to their guns on the stupid vax mandates. Restaurants were not allowed to serve the unclean indoors—I asked the managers if that was a hill they wanted to die on. They wanted to follow their county guidance and thus I assured them I would NEVER return to buy their food and service.

I bought a house in another state to get away from the lunacy. Fortunately was able to keep my job by calling their bluff on the mandates—it is hard to fire unvaxxed people when you are losing 20% of your workforce each year.

And now it looks like we are going to make it with our dignity intact. I wonder how we will know one another in the coming years and identify which people were beneath us and lacked principle.
