I ended a close friendship over bullshit like this. For a year, one friend was so deathly allergic that her doctor told her that under no circumstances was she to receive any Covid vaccine.
Then, then-governor of Oregon Kate Brown required anyone in a Healthcare career to receive said vax. Wouldn't you know it, this friend's easy caretaking paycheck was about to end when she spontaneously rid herself of a life-threatening allergy.
Get the fuck out of here. We're done.
The worst part is, this ends up hurting people with real allergies. I myself have an anaphylaxis to nuts so I also carry an epipen. Which is why I asked the coworker for hers, because I am trained to use it. I can't tell you how often I've met people who don't take it seriously and tell me I'll be fine with just a little bit of nut or organic nuts. "I have a cousin who's allergic to XYZ but since eating only organic she's fine and she can eat it now." This type of people will say they have allergies and then eat the item later and it leads dumb people to believe allergies are fake.
