Bitter shot

Due to unmitigated circumstances, I was refused the initial covid vaccine as a teacher because I did not have an official “teacher” e-mail address. I did not have an official “teacher” e-mail address because- due to unmitigated circumstances- I took a sabbatical. I took a sabbatical due to covid and other unmitigated circumstances, yes, and other reasons too… (it’s complicated).

Lesson: if you do not play by BM (business model) rules, you get punished. No vaccine for you! Striped of my teacher title I waited for months to get shot. Husband, colleagues, deserv-ed employees got the shot as they should. I waited with the rest of “non-essential” workers until the shot was administered. Yet another bitter pill to swallow in the name of institutionalized education.

No recourse. Just thank you, and may I have another?

My tooth is starting to hurt, I think I’ll look at my coverage. It’s not a vaccine, just a tooth, right? Let’s go to the welcoming home page through public schooling.

“At Jeffco Public Schools, we care about you. That’s why we offer benefits that support you at every stage of your life.”

Nice opening! Every stage of my life? Stellar! Let’s see how this turns out.
