What We Learned From Hating the Unvaccinated

The battlefield is still warm, following Canada’s war on the unvaccinated. The mandates have let up, and both sides stumble back into something that looks like the old normal — except that there is a fresh and present injury done to the people we tried to break. And no one wants to talk about it.

Only weeks ago, it was the admitted goal of our own leaders to make life unlivable for the unvaccinated. And as a deputized collective, we force-multiplied that pain, taking the fight into our families, friendships, and workplaces. Today, we face the hard truth that none of it was justified — and, in doing that, uncover a precious lesson.

It was a quick slide from righteousness to cruelty, and however much we might blame our leaders for the push, we’re accountable for stepping into the trap despite better judgment.

We knew that waning immunity put vast numbers of the fully vaccinated on par with the shrinking minority of unvaccinated, yet we marked them for special persecution. We said they hadn’t “done the right thing” by turning their bodies over to state care — even though we knew that principled opposition to such a thing is priceless in any circumstance. And we truly let ourselves believe that going into another ineffectual lockdown would be their fault, not the fault of toxic policy.

And so it was by the willful ignorance of science, civics, and politics that we squeezed the unvaccinated to the degree that we did.

We invented a new rubric for the good citizen and — failing to be one ourselves — took pleasure in scapegoating anyone who didn’t measure up. After months of engineered lockdowns, having someone to blame and to burn simply felt good.

AS ONE RELATIVE SAID IT IS YOUR CHOICE TO NOT GET THE VACCINES. I WANTED TO TELL HER . .T H E Y . A R E . N OT. V.A C C I N E S. . B U T THAT WOULD HAVE GOTTEN THINGS ALL RILED UP AGAIN. I HAVE A FORMER FRIEND FROM HIGH SCHOOL KNOWN HER FOR 65 YRS, WHO GHOSTED ME IN OCT 2019, I HAD BEEN DOING RESEARCH ON THE COVID SHOT, AND D A R E D .TO SUGGEST SHE PRAY ABOUT TAKING THE SHOT BEFORE TAKING IT. SHE LIVES 2000 MILES AWAY, IT TOOK ME 2 MONTHS TO FIGURE OUT SHE HAD GHOSTED ME. NO CONTACT FOR 2 1/2 YEARS! SHE APPARENTLY HAS NOT SIGNED UP FOR THE 60 YEAR CLASS REUNION, SHE LIVES RIGHT THERE, SHE IS GETTING SICK I AM SURE.
