I wonder what percentage of Villagers have been vaccinated.
I am guessing about 70%.
I am proud of our careful thinking of ourselves and others.

I don't think it's helpful to imply that those choosing not to vaccinate are somehow uncaring of others. The Villages population is 96.8% white non-hispanic. Can I surmise then that Villages residents are racist? These false connections between two pieces of data do not automatically correlate. Do I hate the planet when I buy a bottle of water (the plastic being then disposed)?
The link below shows a correlation between getting the vaccine and acquiring Herpes Zoster. Maybe I don't want to risk getting Herpes Zoster. True to the bias of many, the article suggests that maybe some should get another vaccine for Herpes before getting the COVID shot. LOL

Comment: this "vaccine" doesn't look "safe" to me at all. It is for all these safety reasons that I choose not to ever vaccinate. By the way, on that map with colors for what areas have been vaccinated, you will see a little circle with no color at all. That's my house.

The Pfizer-BioNTech COVID-19 Vaccine is an unapproved vaccine. In clinical trials, approximately 20,000 individuals 16 years of age and older have received at least 1 dose of the Pfizer-BioNTech COVID-19 Vaccine.
There is a remote chance that the Pfizer-BioNTech COVID-19 Vaccine could cause a severe allergic reaction. A severe allergic reaction would usually occur within a few minutes to one hour after getting a dose of the Pfizer-BioNTech COVID-19 Vaccine. For this reason, your vaccination provider may ask you to stay at the place where you received your vaccine for monitoring after vaccination. Signs of a severe allergic reaction can include:
• Difficulty breathing
• Swelling of your face and throat
• A fast heartbeat
• A bad rash all over your body
• Dizziness and weakness
Side effects that have been reported with the Pfizer-BioNTech COVID-19 Vaccine include:
• severe allergic reactions
• non-severe allergic reactions such as rash, itching, hives, or swelling of the face
• injection site pain
• tiredness
• headache
• muscle pain
• chills
• joint pain
• fever
• injection site swelling
• injection site redness
• nausea
• feeling unwell
• swollen lymph nodes (lymphadenopathy)
• diarrhea
• vomiting
• arm pain
These may not be all the possible side effects of the Pfizer-BioNTech COVID-19 Vaccine. Serious and unexpected side effects may occur. Pfizer-BioNTech COVID-19 Vaccine is still being studied in clinical trials.
