Agreed. It's sad. We worked 18 months w/o the vax being available. We zero cross contamination, 100% success. I was our safety chair, head of health and wellness, Lieutenant and EMS instructor. The moment the vax was available we went from heroes to zeros. No change in environment, calls or PPE just the availability of the shot made my coworkers and mayor say things like " let the hunger games begin", " if you get sick you don't deserve a bed". They divided the fire family.

It's still shocking to think about the dark period that we just lived through, and that for some, continues. I want to surround myself with people like you and your strong colleagues & families who stood by your beliefs and principles. The absolute mind-blowing scene of watching the good guys like yourself being called the bad ones was truly dystopic. I'm lucky to be employed.....I was gonna be shown the exit had Biden's vaxx "orders" for private employers made it through. The people in Redmond and this area seem to believe in the religion of Science....they may not realize it, but it is truly a religion (they have faith in and believe in doctors, textbooks, the mainstream media, politicians, NASA, etc). May you be very blessed in the long run.
