For people like me, it's either this option or an exemption. No longer will I put other people's health above my own. Triple vaxxed and willing to get as many as I need. But feeling like I'm suffocating is no longer an option. If you don't have breathing/anxiety issues (or both), you don't know what it's like and I;d encourage you to avoid the snideness.
I have chronic lung issues. It's not snideness. People who use fake masks put my life at risk. I've literally spent the past two years being terrified.
So yes, I do have breathing and anxiety issues, but my breathing issues are because I've crappy lungs, and I'd prefer to _not_ be around those who consider my life less worthy than their own.
Sorry. I just feel like I've reached a breaking point myself. Honestly, the only reason i don't have an exemption now is because I didn't want to freak other people out, or feel selfish because I don't have a life-threatening condition. I think people like me just can't imagine living this way much longer, my quality of life has truly sucked this year, in particular.
But it's not the same as what you have to deal with, genuinely fearing for your life.
