Nicole Hunt thought she was just making small talk with the next person in line when she asked whether he'd been vaccinated.Hunt said she and the stranger were waiting for ice cream when they started commiserating over how ready they were to be done with COVID-19 restrictions.For the mother of four in Oakville, Ont., getting her first shot was a promising step toward that goal.
Members of polite society are polarized over whether it's appropriate to ask people if they've rolled up their sleeves. Gesink said there are a few things you should ask yourself before putting the vaccine question to someone else.COVID-19 vaccines have been shown to prevent serious illness and death. But the science of how they affect the spread of the virus is still emerging, and even double-dosed individuals are still susceptible to infection.
But with the right framing, the vaccine question doesn't have to be contentious, and can even bring people closer, she said. She added that if there's any ambiguity about someone's vaccine status, it's best practice to assume they're not and protect yourself accordingly.
The etiquette is you %$!* off and mind your own business
I don't understand the big deal, you can ask me anytime and i will say' yes ive had both vaccines' i'm thinking its the people who have had none that want to keep it quiet. hmmm 🙄🙄
'Are you vaccinated' 'No' 'Well I am' 'So I'm in danger from you' 'That's correct'
Are you guys done posting this annoying damn article? Dont create more fear and anxiety in people. And people for the love of God don't answer this fucking question. Your medical info is private!!!!
I'm not interested in what etiquette experts say. I tell everyone I'm 2x vaccinated and I keep my distance from anti-vaxxers. Life is too short to please everybody.
I look at it this way for any retards that refuse to answer me. If you attempt to kill me being un vaxxed, my response will be to defend with potential deadly force. My life means something to me, even if not to you.
If you're close to people that you don't know and conversing, you really should still be masking. You can still get sick. Pity the ones who are not vaxxed though! Bad decision!
I sure as hell am going to ask anyone that wants to get close to me
It's no one's goddam business about someone's medical info!
If someone asks me if I’ve been vaccinated, I’ll ask them if they are having their period.
When I’m hiring, I simply ask, if it’s a no, they aren’t getting hired
Do you just keep tweeting the same thing when you don't get the replies you want? 🤔
honestly noone has the right to ask me my personal vaccination. it is nooneelses business. except my doctor or health care workers at the hospital
HamOnt I wouldn't be asking a stranger but I would ask a friend or family member their vaccine status. On the other side of the coin if someone asked me I would shout from the highest hill I'm fully vaccinated, I might even do a dance. 🕺
There is NO etiquette. If someone asks, tell them to FO, it’s none of their business. Then ask them if they like anal. Same point….NOTFB.
Just ask them. Plain and simple. No need to all this drama about it.
Aw, are anti-vaxxers feeling pressured because they made a dumb choice and want this pandemic to continue? Poor babies.
Fk off
Nobody’s fucken business
When it comes to a pandemic and all that we have been through and all those that have died, etiquette isn’t really that important is it? It is very fair to ask the direct question, I don’t need to invite a discussion.
Litteraly nobody's business.
So we can ask about their STD status also even if we don't plan of making out with them. If you are vaccinated you are 'immune' so why you are worried about someone who is not vaccinated ? The same damn logic.
Thankfully, Canada has almost 80% vaccinated with a first shot. So that means 8/10 are vaccinated. There clearly are the very vocal folks that reply here, but there are in the minority.
Shun the unvaccinated. Abandon them are they abandoned logic, reason and being a good citizen.
I don’t care!!! Ask all you want!!
When will these anti-vaxxers understand that we all have rights. If I am vaccinated I have a right to know that I am safe serving you, interacting with you or sitting in front of you at an event. I may take your germs home to a vulnerable family member.
I may just lie and say 'yes'. 😉
Already double vaxxed. Don’t really care of someone’s vax status because it doesn’t effect me.
I guess we going to have two society's, us against them, the sheep versus lions. Says almost 50% of the deaths were vaccinated.
My health information is none of your business.
This is just to make it more accepted that institutions to ask and discriminate. Just asking the public to accept the new 2 tier society.
If you’re vaxxed why does it matter if the other person is. Isn’t that what a vaccine is for to protect you.
It’s simple when someone asks me if I’m vaxxed, I ask them do you do anal as an answer. Well since we’re asking personal questions that are none of anybody’s business
I will for the foreseeable future be assuming the person next to me in the grocery store, elevator etc isn't vaccinated and conduct myself as I see fit regardless of my vaccination status.
Its no ones business and they have no right to ask you. Your medical information is PRIVATE. Don't be fooled.
How many times have you asked strangers if they had their flu shot? The flu can be deadly and contagious.
Common sense. Mind one’s own business.
Just ask-its like asking someone if they do Street drugs or drink alcohol
I wouldn’t call it “evolving etiquette” as much as evolving dangerous and discriminatory anti-privacy practices.
Hey neighbor, how r ur genital warts doing today? Any flare ups? Oh hi customer, did u get your Pap smear done yet? Hey strange person holding the door open 4 me! I just wanted to let u know that it hurts when I poop. Equal to asking/telling about it jibjab 🤡
I ask...no one comes in my house without both vaccines, my son needs protecting and so do i .
Those of us vaccinated deserve to know.
