I don't care whether you get the vaccination or not. No skin off my back. I just hate to see the reasoning being due to pure ignorance. If you are scared, OK and I understand. Fear is a powerful thing. I have not allowed the pandemic to stop me for getting out and about, but I have been protective of my wife. I refuse to allow this virus to rule my life so I went along with my wife and got my shot when she got hers. Still waiting for the second shot. I don't get the flu and I do not get the flu shot. I rarely catch a cold and if I do/did it lasts about three days max. Although, I can't remember having a cold in the last fifteen years or so. I am healthy for my age. If I thought the vaccination was dangerous, I would not have gotten it. As far as I am concerned, and with the reading I have done, this vaccination is way less dangerous and way more effective than the flu shot. My opinion.
It's great that some of us believe we are immune to illness, especially when there is no evidence of being in contact with the infected. Unlike some of the mask wearers, I do not believe that everyone I meet is infected with the demon virus. But, I go along with wearing a mask because it does have some filtering aspects and because it makes others feel more comfortable.

I have had two family members that have died recently, both testing positive for COVID. Did they die because of COVID or WITH Covid? Who knows? On the other hand, I know of at least a dozen or more that have survived the virus, including my kids and some of my grandkids. Some shrugged it off with hardly a symptom, but tested positive. Some suffered harshly as if they had a serious flu. My decision was not based on the CDC, as I do not trust that political organization. My decision to get the vaccination was based on reading many different studies and expert opinions. If further down the line, I develop some residue effects from the serum, so be it. Life is finite, no matter how well you take care of yourself. Everything you do from day to day is a gamble of some sort.
I have no problem with you all declining the vaccine. It just means that my children will be eligible faster.
Speaking of gambling, isn't it interesting that casinos are open but churches are closed in many places?
