3. Having had vaccines in the past, and being personally comfortable with the concept of getting a vaccine.
4. Recognizing that this is, in fact, a situation where I can play russian roulette with the gun pointed at the rest of the world by NOT ensuring that I'm immune, or I can play russian roulette with the gun pointed at my own temple, and choosing to favor society with an unknown risk to myself. I have to choose either way. I choose to favor society
So you DID make your choice!
