I certainly would avoid them like the plague that they carry.

Which is interesting, because if the vaccine works like they claim, one shouldn’t have to worry about getting sick (or at least, ‘really sick’).
Second part of that, how does one know if one has been vaccinated? Like, are people going to start asking? Just saying that that is a personal question. Sort of like how you wouldn’t go up to someone asking when the last time they had sex with their spouse or SO.

I have zero problem asking. It isn't a personal question. It's a question that affects my health.
As for why. I have an unvaccinated child and high risk relatives. This is still a danger to them. And I am also high risk. And frankly, I'm not interested in spending time with folks who won't vaccinate.
