And what of those of us who had COVID, and have antibodies? We are actually LESS likely to get or spread the virus, yet are being actively discriminated against.
Here in Italy having had COVID counts as "one vaccination". After a few months you get the second shot and - after two weeks (*) - you are ready to go. Dunno about the States.
No big Conventions over here, even if we are slowly reopening and things do seem fine. I'll go to a clinic, instead, to fix an annoying physical problem. I endured with it for a couple of months because for no reason (except life-threatening circumstances) I would have entered a clinic during COVID without at least a shot. Same for a Convention Others' mileage can vary.
(*) "Two weeks" does seem to be the rule for the vaccine to work. I got my first shot of Moderna two Mondays ago, so literally today I'm fully "80% protected". I'll get the second shot on Jun, 28th, which will made the protection permanent and up it to 94.1%. Or so I'm told.
