Bravo to Vail Resorts Corporation for having the courage to do the right thing and abide by the Provincial Health Office’s guidelines, thereby providing an inclusive environment for all guests. For too long we have listened to self-described experts that have consistently been wrong about everything in this pandemic since February 2020.
We’ve been told that social distancing will work, then masks will work, then masks don’t, then suddenly they do. We were told attending church is too dangerous, but if you want to join 10,000 others in a protest for social justice go right ahead, it’s totally safe.
Now we are told boosters may be required. Tell me, where does it all end?
This separation of society into the vaccinated and unvaccinated is beginning to take on a religious tone, casting out those who refuse to bow down before the altar of vaccines, which have yet to deliver the promised salvation.
The flurry of letter writing is disappointing but not surprising. How many boosters will you take, how many disruptions to your life, to your business, to your ability to live will you tolerate before you begin to realize that perhaps all this reaction is just theatre? (I chose to get vaccinated and chose for my children to get vaccinated, so stop the anti-vaxx/Trumper/conspiracy theorist reaction you may be feeling right now.)
If your risk tolerance is so low that you cannot stand being in an enclosed area while everyone is wearing masks (which we are promised are effective!) perhaps inherently risky snow sports are not for you.
