My pro-vaxxer friends are changing their tune

My pro-vaxxer friends have been a lot nicer to me since they started testing positive for Covid.

I’m calling my vaccinated friends ‘pro-vaxxer’, by the way, just so they can see how it feels to have a quirky-sounding label applied to them based on their personal choices about how to withstand a pandemic.

Meanwhile, I’m most certainly not going to call myself an anti-vaxxer because I’ve had dozens of vaccines, just not this one.

I don’t need a label that’s become a term of abuse and was used by an MP while condemning people who don’t want the vaccine as the sorts of scoundrels who might launch a physical attack on him. It was rather as though this chap was boiling up to proposing an amendment to the anti-terror laws to include anti-vaccine campaigners as proscribed organisations, as though random collections of citizens who don’t want new technology injected into them within a year of it being made are somehow as dangerous as Isis or the IRA.
