At this point, after reading all the comments on here and listening to all the desperate folks attempting to convince others that they made the right decision to get vaccinated, I have made a preemptive decision to NOT get the booster shot when offered.
I keep hearing such ideas as "mandatory mask wearing" "mandatory vax passports" "madatory vaccination IDs" etc. I have never heard so many folks demanding that the gov MANDATE their opinions and wants in my life. And the free give-aways is getting out of control.
Never has the population of America been so weak minded and spineless, and so dependent on the gov nanny.
Discussing the merits of vaccination is one thing, but to insist that everyone agree with you or be declared stupid, UN-American, UN-patriotic, ignorant, etc. is proving that you do not have the ability to respect other folks' views.
Against my prudent reasoning, I got my shots months ago. Now, I will resume normal living and I will only wear a mask IF I develope a cold or other possible contagious illness. Until this started, I NEVER owned a mask other than one in my workshop for using paint stripper or sanding. I do not care if you want to get the vaccination or not. It's none of my business what you do and I respect your opinion, whether or not I agree with it. Quit trying to force others to reinforce your decision. I will always resist anything from the gov that attempts to FORCE us to do something against the will of a substantial portion of our population.
I applaud the past administration for Warp Speed and it's attempt to provide a solution, but I also applaud any leaders that are allowing their constituents to make their own decisions, such as has been done here in Florida.
Like one very famous person once said "beware of the words: I am from the gov and I am here to help you." paraphrased.

Someone is showing lots of love for Ronald Reagan - who was very good at delivering a speech because he was an ACTOR primarily - he could read a script really well.

Now as far as MANDATES go.......I guess you NEVER click on your seat belt because that is one of those DASTARDLY government mandates. I guess you don't want your life saved and your family and friend's lives. And I guess that when Russia sends a missile at central Florida that you will singlehandedly shoot it down with your Red Rider BB gun or some other weapon. That's right! Who needs ANY government? We should ALL of us just NOT pay any income tax. That will show those nasty government lazy jerks!
