To make you feel better and safer? I hate to burst your bubble but covid is not going away. It's going to be endemic just like the flu, and new variants will probably require booster shots every year. It will probably become less deadly over time, and maybe in a few hundred years it will become similar to other coronaviruses and cause common colds.

Even if every man woman and child in USA were vaccinated, vaccine resistant variants like Delta will develop in other parts of the world and in this modern world, slip back into America.
Bingo.

I had COVID late last fall. No big deal--a few days of feeling puny but the rest of the time just irritated at sitting around the house. I had the vaccine too; this past May in fact. Not so much because I had this desperate fear of the dread bug but because my family lives in Minnesota and nobody knows from day to day just what new dicta that the moonbats who are running that state might hand down; there was some idle talk (thankfully that was all it was) that MSP might be quarantining incoming passengers who were not vaccinated and I figured a couple of needle sticks was a small price to pay to avoid that. That was the route I chose to take.

That's what important here. I had the right to choose my course of action and I did it according to what I believed to be my best interests. But those interests are not the business of anyone EXCEPT myself. I fully accept that people have the same right to make their choices of action, independent of what anyone else thinks. I do NOT have the right to demand that anyone else takes a course of action based on my fear.

My liberty does not stop where someone else's fear begins.
