It really does. It is surprising to me that there are many people not getting vaccinated because they fear doctors AND shots. I don't like shots and needles. I was hospitalized in the last two years where I had 27 needles in one week. The largest and scariest was inserted into my chest to reinflate my right lung. I was scared but I didn't yell. I had my sweet husband and daughter holding my hand for support.

I have a LOT of trust for the traditional medical community and very little for alternative medicine. Our daughter has had many stays and me staying with her around the clock, in her life because of congenital heart issues. Not all medical facilities are equal, some are better than others with teaching hospitals being the best. I believe we can trust the CDC and the NIH.

Most people who work with very sick people day in and day out are so close to being saints in my book. I stand in awe, really almost worship.
