几乎正好是五年前的那一天，我在纽约市一家医院工作

那天我照顾了大量病人，其中一些感染了新冠病毒

我身体健康，并且测试了自己的新冠抗体水平[很高]

我对新冠疫苗毫无兴趣，拒绝接种

长班结束后走出医院

因为没有“疫苗卡”，被两家餐厅拒绝入内用餐

超级饿了，不得不走将近半英里路到一家便利店买些薯片和糖果吃（真的是唯一的选择！）

你们也许能忘记世界当时有多疯狂。但我永远不会

而且我将永远保持警惕，因为那是我人生中第一次意识到，一个所谓先进的国家，拥有受过教育的人民，竟然能够陷入极端的愚蠢和疯狂的规则服从

Almost 5 years to the day I had been working in a New York City Hospital

Took care of loads of patients that day, some of whom had COVID

I was healthy and testing my own COVID antibody levels [HIGH]

Had no interest in COVID vax, declined

Stepped outside end of long shift

Denied entry into two restaurants to eat because I didn’t have my “vaccine card”

Super hungry, had to walk almost half a mile to a convenience store to get some chips and candy to eat (literally the only thing!)

Y’all might be able to forget how crazy the world got. But I will never

And I’ll always have my guard up because it was the first time in my life I realized a supposedly advanced country with educated people was capable of extreme stupidity and crazy level rule-following
