Slavery and Vaccine Mandates

I am not an individual who abides too much in argument, an offshoot of becoming mostly content with my current life situation. I’ve created a nice niche for myself, as I’m currently thriving at my full-time customer service job, effortlessly learning the ropes at my part-time laboratory job, and presently earning more money than at any point in my previous forty-four years. The list of goals inscribed on a piece of paper and taped to my bedroom wall twelve years ago have all been checked off. And if you were to take the time to perform a google search of my name, you’ll discover that I’m a published author, a portion of a long-gestating dream fulfilled.

I don’t want anything to disturb the balance that I’ve spent almost two decades bringing into fruition. So, I endeavor to keep my opinions on politics and current events to myself, except for when I spit knowledge about these topics on my Medium blog.

But with the introduction of the covid-19 vaccine and the spread of subsequent vaccine mandates across the country, discussions of current events have seeped into the workplace. This is especially true of my work area, the laboratory client services department, which is populated by five people of varying ages, races, genders, and experience levels. Three of us have been fully vaccinated, one is skeptical, and another is dead set against getting jabbed.
