I now know three people who have taking to lying about their vax status because they are sick of arguing with people. I really don't know how I feel about this. I can understand their deciding that it is just easier than fighting constantly with those who badger you and judge you.
Saying "I will not disclose that" seems reasonable. To lie ends up not allowing others to decide what risk they are comfortable with around the "un-vaxxed." If you only want to be around the vaxxed, it seems unfair (and maybe even unethical) for me to tell you that I am.
The other thing that this promotes is people feeling justified in putting even more pressure on those of us who are continuing to say "I'm not doing it." Why would WOTR not get vaxxed? He is the only one of us in this group who is a Luddite- he is the only one who is socially irresponsible and who is putting the rest of us at risk. Everybody else i this group is vaxxed (despite my knowing full well that there are actually four of us who are not.) I suppose I won't say anything unless the unvaxxed pretending to be vaxxed start joining in the attacks instead of hanging out saying nothing.
Oh well. One day we will all be able to demand to see your papers before associating with others. And, I suppose if everybody is going to lie to their friends, family, and coworkers about their status, maybe that is a reasonable demand?
