Unvaccinated people are declaring themselves ‘Purebloods'
2021-09-20
[NYPost] Some anti-vaxxers have proclaimed themselves "Purebloods" in a campaign of biological supremacy against those who received the COVID-19 vaccine.

"From now on, I refuse to be referred to as ’unvaccinated,’" said conservative influencer Lyndsey Marie in a post last week. "I want everyone to now call me Pureblood."

Her hashtags included #harrypotter, #pureblood and #unvaccinated.

Marie is most likely referring to a term more recently popularized by the "Harry Potter" series, which saw wizards and warlocks with the most magical progeny assigned as "purebloods" or "half-bloods" — as opposed to "muggles," mere humans who practice magic.
Remember the olden days when there were these things called “jokes” that people didn’t take seriously?

You need to bear in mind that in the UK, Ms Occasional-Cortex is in the 'conservative' spectrum.

Sure..

Slightly off topic, I have started hearing the "If you have been vaccinated, or are thinking about it, please tell your doctor." bits on those medication commercials.

Which means nothing in and of itself, other than it was a subject many were wondering if/when it would show up.

Muggles didn't practice magic, muggles had no magic. Mudbloods were Muggles that developed magical powers. How hard is it to check this kind of thing, I though newsrooms were full of 20-somethings?

#2  While a few ANTI-VAX'ers have refused VAX'd blood. Are there any blood banks refusing to take VAX'd donations?
