I wonder how wide spread Polio would be if we had not taken the vaccine or how many other diseases would still be around without a vaccine. So yes, there is a choice but asing not to be judged because you ask us not to, isn't going to happen, not when that decision impacts me.
Thank you for being honest. Many on here think that what I do must be with the precept that I am helping others. Personally, I do not care whether or not they get a vaccine shot. That's their choice and I doubt it will effect me. My not getting the FLU vaccine does not impact the health of you or anyone else. With the ratio of death to population as of today, I would not get the vaccine for the virus, because the death rate is so low in proportion of the population around me. I might consider it IF that rate suddenly became heavier on the side of the death rate ratio. The probability of me catching the virus is low. The chance that I would become infected and die from it, is way lower. But, I am glad that others will rush to get it when it first comes out. I wonder what the ratio of death will be from those that get the vaccine. I wonder if they will find that a few folks die from the vaccine. Hope is nice. I hope that some day they will find a cure for cancer, but I won't hold my breath. I do not foresee a vaccine this year, but I do see people surviving the pandemic this year. I see folks that wear masks and those that do not, both surviving the pandemic.

Stay home and stay safe. It makes traffic lighter and shopping a breeze for me.
