Infection rate means nothing to me. Death rate by Covid is the main factor. And what is the ratio of persons vaccinated that are having serious side effects, including death? Not that I fear this for myself, but since I am unlikely to die from Covid due to my healthy condition, why take a chance with the vaccine if there is any chance of it being a danger? I am not suggesting that anyone else decline the vaccination. I will neither endorse or discourage the use of this vaccination. I do feel that the vaccine has saved a lot of lives. How many, I do not know. Since everyone seems to think that masks are the great answer, perhaps it was not the vaccine but the mask that has saved so many lives.....
Which is why, I've been saying for months, that they should be testing for ANTIBODIES, and not ONLY for "active" covid...
