Is it our job now to avoid unvaxed peeps whenever we can to, avoid other people getting sick in our lives? Do we know for sure the vaccine slows the spread?

Yes, we know for sure that the vaccine slows the spread.

It’s easy for me to say that I will avoid unvaxed peeps, because everyone I know is vaccinated, so I’ll say, yes, we should avoid them.

Is it our job? Well, how much do you care if you get sick, or give it to others?

Do we know? Sure we do. I wish there were requirements for max “passports” to make it easier to avoid the stupid.
