Lunch with friend on Sunday. Vaxxed and multi-boosted; in fact for months was hesitant to meet with our book group because I was not vaccinated. (?!)

She mentioned that she had covid last month on a trip.

Me:  But you're vaccinated and boosted!
Her: Yes. So it wasn't as bad as the last time I got covid.
Me: You had covid twice!!! Was the last time after you were vaccinated too?
Her: Yes, so it wasn't too bad either.
Me: How do you know the vaccine made your covid less bad?
Her: Because [boyfriend] skipped his third booster and he got it too, and was sicker than I was.
Me: Are you going to be getting more covid shots?
Her: Yes.
Me: But you're both okay and got over it. Could that have been because the virus is mutating and becoming less virul...
Her: We don't agree on this so we shouldn't talk about it! Changes subject.

This is a super smart woman, holds a very responsible position relating to nuclear materials management. I suspect boyfriend has caught on as he skipped that THIRD booster. Hope they don't have to break up if he says he's done with the jabs.

Have to ask, does she wear a mask in public? I still see some of that going on when I get close to a large city.

No mask yet, but I am sure she has them ready. Her sister lives in France and they both were extolling the fantastic wisdom of the French government in only letting people outside for 30 minutes, in shifts, around the town her sister lives in, in 2021. Unbelievable. The sister is super smart too. Intelligence must take a holiday in these people when it comes to rational thought about current events.

OMG!        

Proof, that intellect is only measured against wisdom. The dumbest people I've ever met are those with college degrees.
