"XXXX and I are not on board with the experimental vaccines which make changes to your DNA. My sister XXXXX who worked in the pharmaceutical industry for a long time ( she just retired last year) advises against getting the vaccine. She said she will not go near it. So we are holding out and just bolstering our immune systems with vitamins and supplements. There are good therapeutics and overall 98.5% survival rate which is better than for flu. (Also, Bill Gates has the patent on the Covid virus, the vaccine, and the testing kit- that makes this all very fishy!)"

Oh well.... I don't get it, but looks as if there IS quite a large % of Americans who feel that way and will be holdouts... for whatever reason. IMO why take the GIVEN risk of contracting Covid - esp at our age.

Good luck to her
But for everyone else, so they don't get misinformed, this is a PSA:

The vaccine is no longer "experimental", it is the standard of care
It DOES NOT alter your DNA
The survival rate of seasonal flu is 99.9%+
And "vitamins and supplements" are fine, but they won't protect you from COVID
