I could highlight all your article. I had a strange encounter with a friend I hadn't seen since Covid started. And then obviously there came the conversation "damn pandemic we haven't seen each other bla bla bla ", and then she said " I got covid two weeks ago, but I didn't take any vacine, like the stupid media wanted you to do, and I'm ok"... I did such a poker face. She is a teacher, she is smart. or so I thought, and I honestly had just said " at least now with the vaccines I am more protected I'm no so scared anymore", and then BANG! I just thought I hadn't heard that.... Because now she is so different to my eyes...
