I couldn't wait to bet out of there as the driver was a know-it-all a-hole. He advised me not to be the booster shot as Israel is now advising it's people to get a fourth booster to combat delta.
I told him I hadn't heard that, then got suspicious and asked him if he was fully vaccinated? He said no because he knows what's in it...many things and one ingredient that magnetizes you. I scoffed at him and asked if he really believes that? He said I know everything about it.
I told him you need to get vaccinated and cut off conversation with the fool.
I'm considering reporting him to uber as I think all their drivers should be vaccinated.
I'm fully vaccinated btw.

(1,091 posts)Because he has O Positive blood. "O Positive People don't get COVID," he says. Fortunately, he said he was also vaccinated, but it "didn't really matter" because of his lucky blood type.
I was like, "Oh really. Hmmm."
Oy.

(28,057 posts)thst people with O positive blood did not get as sick and may have had more resistance to the virus. I never heard if that stood the test of time. I'd guess not or we'd probably have heard more.

(1,654 posts)Because of the dilating drops and don't wish to drive after them. Today my Uber driver on the way home, a very nice African American lady, was the first driver who has not been masked since the start of the pandemic. I was very surprised because the ride shares insist we mask up. I didn't comment because I kept my mask on but I'm presuming she is vaxed. I also tipped because I always tip.

(37,956 posts)In fact I try to keep conversation to a minimum and mostly innocuous with most drivers. As long as they are wearing a mask and let me open my window I try to keep things business-friendly.

(53,477 posts)so I just shut down after advising him to get vaxxed. I guess him wearing a mask was because the company requires it of drivers and riders, but masking doesn't seem consistent with not being vaxxed.
There are just too many idiot wingers out there.
