Blue-check Benjamin Wittes is a senior fellow at the Brookings Institution, be we know him better as the “BOOM” guy who kept posting videos of his little toy cannon going off whenever there was a development in the Russian collusion probe. It’s a good thing we have Twitter through which to read his hot takes because he’s refusing to interact with anyone who won’t provide proof of vaccination. We’ve been vaccinated, but pulling out the little card is too much effort to interact with him, frankly.
I am with this tweet instituting my own vaccine mandate. I am not interacting with people any more whom I do not know to be vaccinated, and I reserve the right to demand proof of vaccination from anyone on pain of refusal to further engage. Children excepted of course.

Suddenly, Ben finds many "friends" become anti-vax.

You'll still interact with bartenders, waiters, cashiers, anyone you consider a servant.

I'm vaccinated and I refuse to interact with anyone who refuses to interact with non-vaccinated people.

If you really want to get people to get vaccinated, consider threatening the pain of insisting on engagement with you.

Is it possible to get unvaccinated? Asking for a friend.

No loss for them. Clearly.

The idea that interacting with you is a privilege that others would jump through a hoop for is astounding to me.
If the world were divided between the vaxxed and the unvaxxed, I would have the vaccine siphoned out of my blood so I could hang out with the cool kids.

The competition was fierce, but I think you managed to pull off the douchiest tweet of all time.

You're doing great.
