Things are upside down where I live all of a sudden. I just had my “every six-month” dental cleaning and exam. There was no “mask required” sign on the door like last time and nobody was asking questions or taking temps like last time. I asked the receptionist about it and she said “oh, we aren’t doing that anymore”. My hygienist had on her normal mask and face shield (always wears it). She asked if we were getting the shots and I said no. She said that she and her husband got them since she’s up in people’s mouths all day but considered not getting it. I told her we weren’t taking them due to it being so new.
Dentist walks in with his face mask on and while talking he asked if I was taking the shot. I told him no because it’s so new. He said he and his family were not taking it either for the same reason. He said keep wearing the mask around crowds of strangers because “while it’s not perfect it is better than nothing if somebody sick sneezes or coughs in your face”. He knows I have asthma that is triggered by respiratory viruses and sicknesses.
So, I guess a dentist is sort of a doctor that isn’t taking the shots. Hmmmm!
A nurse I know just took a temp job jabbing people at the sports arena, but refuses to take the jab herself. I guess she thinks she won’t be blamed if this all comes apart.
