Ask Amy: Traumatized friend now causes more concern
If you had packed the box and taken it to the PO yourself, you could have saved yourself some money, and your friend a lot of shoe leather.
Dear Amy: I take issue with your reply to “Wondering,” in which you suggest that it is improper to ask whether someone has been vaccinated against COVID unless the questioner is “medically vulnerable.”
We are all medically vulnerable since the vaccines are not 100 percent effective and, apparently, become less effective over time.
My wife and I don’t want to be near unvaccinated people because they are more likely to transmit the virus.
It’s way past time to stop treating this question as an intrusion into personal choice. This is not religion and it shouldn’t be politics. It’s a public health crisis.
– Fed-Up
Dear Fed -Up: Your response is representative of many I’ve received.
I don’t ask, mainly because I trust my own vaccine to protect me from serious illness – and I simply don’t want to discuss it.
