The irrational fear of the COVID-19 vaccine.
An extraordinary percentage of the American population was infected, if not yet with Covid, then with vaxxophobia.

A thought which often escapes idiots staring at a stranger struggling to walk. "What happened to you?" they say, before launching into the saga of their torn knee ligament, oblivious to the possibility that their prey has been disabled for decades and doesn't wish to answer appallingly inappropriate questions, nor needs your brilliant advice.
Don't ask, she thought. Don't fucking ask.
Some day of the week or other, during Covid, when time is disordered.
The Zoom meeting is... Whensday? Or what.
