Nickmercs Anti-Vax Answer To TwitchCon Sounds Like Worst Party Of All Time
After weeks of constant pressure from the community, Twitch has decided to reinstate mask and vaccine requirements for this October’s TwitchCon in San Diego. In a blog post update, Twitch wrote “We’ve been listening to all of your feedback and know that many of you–especially those who are immunocompromised and the people who support them–want stricter health measures in place to help you feel safe attending TwitchCon San Diego in person… we will require all attendees to provide proof of vaccination or proof of a negative covid test taken within 72 hours of attending the show.”
This is great news for everyone attending TwitchCon. Densely populated indoor events are high-risk environments for all kinds of airborne viruses, not just Covid, and requiring masks and vaccines will help keep attendees safe and healthy. While Twitch deserves plenty of criticism for removing these safety requirements in the first place, at least now everyone can go enjoy the convention with some peace of mind. The news has certainly come as a relief to people who are, as Twitch puts it, immunocompromised or the people who support them.

So yeah, I guess I’m someone that supports the immunocompromised, but isn’t everyone? What kind of person is anti-immunocompromised anyway?
