You Have Every Right to Be Pissed Off at Anti-Maskers and Vaccine Skeptics
What’s happening is outrageous.
San Antonio ran out of ambulances last night.
In Florida last week, a high school teacher with cancer begged her students to wear masks. Only half of them bothered.
This is just the beginning.
Delta has taken over, and our collective attitude sucks. There’s 2,000 children in hospitals, despite earlier promises they weren’t at risk. Yesterday, someone called me “hysterical” for caring. My sister-in-law keeps telling us there’s no reason to be so “scared.” They don’t get it.
We’re not (just) afraid.
We’re not panicking. We’re not anxious. We’re not pacing around our homes all day hot and breathless with fear.
We know what’s going on.
We’re angry.
We have every right to be. Some of us might feel a misplaced sense of schadenfreude about the tens of thousands of largely unvaccinated people filling up hospitals across the south. We shouldn’t.
Mostly, we feel immense contempt.
This didn’t have to happen.
