The most dystopian thing about this entire pandemic is the congratulations one gets after getting a vaccine.

It's not an achievement!

A degree? A house? Sure! But a vaccine?! No!

It is so profoundly disturbing how quickly we've accepted the Hunger Games : Vaccine Edition

There's a time and place for #Blessed & conversations about privilege. But it's not a privilege to get a vaccine 15 months into a pandemic ONLY BECAUSE the government failed your community so badly that your neighbours are disproportionately dying.

C'mon.

Am I grateful for the science that created the vaccine? Yup!

Am I grateful for MediCare? Yup!

Am I grateful that my health, although not the best, still allows me to get a vaccine? Yup!

Did I sob with relief? Yup.

Still not an "achievement", folks.

The internet is so absurd.

People called me extra all day for getting dressed up to get a vaccine and are now accusing me of being a buzzkill for saying "Getting vaccinated shouldn't be an achievement."

Just accept you're a contrarian and leave me alone

The last thing I'll say :

I am literally just asking people to focus less on "just be grateful you got a vaccine!" And more on "Make the government do better."

Too many are individualizing the issue instead of going macro and asking why we've let elected officials abandon us.
