Insider tells the global tech, finance, markets, media, healthcare, and strategy stories you want to know.

This story was written by a veterinarian in the US. Their employment has been verified by Insider, but their byline is anonymous to prevent professional repercussions.

In the veterinary world, social distancing is impossible. Taking a blood sample from a nine-pound chihuahua requires at least two people, our heads often only six inches apart. Trimming the nails of a 90-pound dog is impossible if you cannot be closer than six feet from your assistant.Looking back, those were golden days. Everyone at our clinic seemed to be part of the same team, working together for the good of our patients.

For instance, I had a client who thought rabies merely causes drooling. Despite this misconception, she can safely live her life without knowing the horror of rabies because vaccination mandates for pets reduce her exposure to virtually nil. Public-health efforts succeed when a group is united and seeks a unified goal. A population with a high vaccination rate — whether dogs, cattle, or humans — offers a wall of defense against a virus.

Finally, we could see a glimmer of hope after so many months working with very little protection. Finally, there was a suit of armor to help us do our jobs with less risk. Finally, we could continue to provide care despite the pandemic around us. Some among us were quickly vaccinated and then eagerly shared vaccination info with co-workers so they could set up appointments.

If I wouldn't send a dog to a kennel where vaccinations were optional, why would I stay at my work? I have small children who cannot yet be vaccinated and older parents who help tend to them. Close and consistent exposure to unvaccinated staff puts my family at increased risk.

Exhausting of covid people are tired of this virus people want to live their lives if they don't want to get vaccinated that is their choice just got to be safe don't go out a whole lot of people if you don't want to wear be safe some people out there or scared of the virus

an excellent piece.

SciInsider Your personally decision, good for you. Who cares?

I would too

Hopefully this was Julia black

Someone should try to explain to that person that just made it very difficult for themself that the vaccine is to help the person taking the vaccine. The vaccine is to keep you alive and healthy; it won't stop you from getting the virus. The anti-vaxxers are hurting themselves.

Who would pay to read BI? Proven liars. FAKE NEWS. DESTROYED BY DAVE PORTNOY. YOU CANT CANCEL BARSTOOL

If vaccine does protects you, why did you quit ? If vaccine doesn't protect you, why would they get vaccinated ?

happines in that workplace grew 100% for some reason.

Unreal how some people are becoming cult-like zealots with COVID.

Investing in cryptocurrency should be in anyone’s list now, in 2 to 3 years time, you will be happy with the decision you make now. I made 8BTC following trading instructions and signal from Katelynejmont on Telegram.

我的同事拒绝接种疫苗。所以,我辞职了。
