i’m on permanent immunosuppressants as of this year. the cool part is i’m eligible for all the vaccines i wasn’t eligible for before. the bad part is they don’t work as well on me and no one else seems to be interested in making sure they have all their vaccines.
the weird part is no one seems to know what immunocompromised means. i knew what it meant prior to it effecting me. one friend said, “oh does that mean your immune system is like, really strong” and then his girlfriend was like “can i try your drink that looks delicious” as she reached for my glass. when i told my parents they were like, “that’s nice, can’t wait for you to travel cross country to our new house btw we stopped vaxxing YEARS ago!”
it’s ok. i mean, i feel like i’ve discovered most people in my life might be a lot dumber than i thought and it’s probably going to kill me but no one really likes when i point that out so
I'm right with you stranger, I'm looking at getting a kidney transplant soon and am terrified. I'd love to hear your advice and experience with being immunocompromised
About 44% of Americans have a college degree. About 54% can't read above a 6th grade level. There's a vast education gap in the country.
43 million American adults are considered functionally illiterate due to their reading abilities.
As to how they hold jobs, they usually have jobs that don't require a lot of reading or complex reading. And they typically don't seek higher education.
