the vaccine question

He posted "I have an immune system!"

The anti-vaxxer anti-masker deputy sheriff 

Just weeks before COVID killed him at 33

Having spread it to an unknown number of contacts


When half the population hesitates or refuses 

Vaccination will not achieve herd immunity 

In the midst of a culture war against science and facts

COVID will continue to spread among them 


It's like they will get their wish after all 

The ones who fought against the shutdown 

As everything opens up fully again to them

Leaving them as exposed as their personal choice 


Being fully vaccinated I can relax somewhat 

Feeling entirely safe unmasked walking outside 

Visiting vaccinated friends and family inside 

Getting used to our social life starting again 


We are in the happy half of the population

Who have a measure of immunity now

Protected from a severe case of the virus

Unlike all the holdouts who scoff at the risk


So of course we will continue wearing masks

Any time we are inside a public building 

Being near these same people who deny evolution 

Seeing who will be the ones not fit to survive
