Thought of the Day - September 2 2021 - Who's Been Vaccinated?

Bud: ‘You can’t come in here!’ Lou: ‘Why not?’ Bud: ‘Well because you’re unvaccinated.’ Lou: ‘But I’m not sick.’ Bud: ‘It doesn’t matter.’

Lou: ‘Well, why does that guy get to go in?’ Bud: ‘Because he’s vaccinated.’ Lou: ‘But he’s sick!’ Bud: ‘It’s alright. Everyone in here is vaccinated.’

Lou: ‘Wait a minute. Are you saying everyone in there is vaccinated?’ Bud: ‘Yes.’ Lou: ‘So then why can’t I go in there if everyone is vaccinated?’ Bud: ‘Because you’ll make them sick.’ Lou: ‘How will I make them sick if I’m NOT sick and they’re vaccinated?’ Bud: ‘Because you’re unvaccinated.’ Lou: ‘But they’re vaccinated.’ Bud: ‘But they can still get sick.’

Lou: ‘So what the heck does the vaccine do?’ Bud: ‘It vaccinates.’ Lou: ‘So vaccinated people can’t spread COVID?’ Bud: ‘Oh no. They can spread COVID just as easily as an unvaccinated person.’

Lou: ‘I don’t even know what I’m saying anymore. Look, I’m not sick.’ Bud: ‘Ok.’ Lou: ‘And the guy you let in IS sick.’ Bud: ‘That’s right.’ Lou: ‘And everybody in there can still get sick even though they’re vaccinated.’ Bud: ‘Certainly.’ Lou: ‘So why can’t I go in again?’ Bud: ‘Because you’re unvaccinated.’

Lou: ‘Never mind. I’ll just put on my mask.’ Bud: ‘That’s fine.’ Lou: ‘Now I can go in?’ Bud: ‘Absolutely not.’ Lou: ‘But I have a mask!’ Bud: ‘Doesn’t matter.’ Lou: ‘I was able to come in here yesterday with a mask.’ Bud: ‘I know.’

Lou: 'So why can’t I come in here today with a mask? ….If you say ‘because I’m unvaccinated’ again, I’ll break your arm.’ Bud: ‘Take it easy buddy.’ Lou: ‘So the mask is no good anymore.’ Bud: ‘No, it’s still good.’ Lou: ‘But I can’t come in?’ Bud: ‘Correct.’ Lou: ‘Why not?’ Bud: ‘Because you’re unvaccinated.’

Lou: ‘But the mask prevents the germs from getting out.’ Bud: ‘Yes, but people can still catch your germs.’ Lou: ‘But they’re all vaccinated.’ Bud: ‘Yes, but they can still get sick.’ Lou: ‘But I’m not sick!’ Bud: ‘You can still get them sick.’ Lou: ‘So then masks don’t work?!’ Bud: ‘Masks work quite well.’ Lou: ‘So how in the heck can I get vaccinated people sick if I’m not sick and masks work?’ Bud: ‘Third base.’

Can't claim this as my own, rumour has it was originally a Facebook post, but I can see this saga continuing to expand.

A few months later.

Lou: 'I'm back and fully vaccinated.'

Bud: ‘Let's see your vaccine passport.’ Lou: ‘What passport?!’ Bud: ‘The one the government issues.’ Lou: ‘You mean this card they gave me?’ Bud: ‘Not that is just your record of vaccination, I need proof of vaccination.’

Lou: ‘Oh, does it have different information?'

Bud: 'No, the same information.'

Lou: 'So what's the difference?'

Bud: 'The difference is that you can't come in here!'

A few days later.

Bud: ‘You again! You can't come in here!’ Lou: 'It's okay, I'll sit on the patio.’ Bud: ‘You can't go out there either.' Lou: ‘What, didn't I read that fresh air dilutes the germs?’

Bud: 'Yep.'

Lou: 'And that infection outside is highly unlikely, especially if you practice social distancing?'

Bud: 'Yep.'

Lou: 'And add a mask and it is darn near impossible to get infected outside?'

Bud: 'For sure.'

Lou: 'So what gives?.'

Bud: 'You still need a passport to sit on a patio.'

A week later.

Lou: 'I'm back, fully vaccinated and have my vaccine passport'.

Bud: ‘Let's see your passport.’ Lou: ‘Here you go.’ Bud: ‘That's no good, that's federal. I need provincial.' Lou: ‘Oh, does it have different information?’

Bud: 'No, the same information.'

Lou: 'So what's the difference?'

Bud: 'The difference is that you can't come in here!'

A couple of months later.

Lou: 'I'm back, fully vaccinated and have my provincial passport'.

Bud: ‘Let's see your passport.’ Lou: ‘Here you go.’ Bud: ‘Oh, you are only fully vaccinated.’ Lou: ‘That's what I said!'

Bud: 'So you have not had your third shot'?

Lou: ‘Well, no. What's the difference?’

Bud: 'The difference is that you can’t come in here!'
