Would you be equally sanguine in the face of contracting polio after a polio vaccine or shingles, smallpox, tetanus, measles, mumps, hepatitis or meningitis after getting their corresponding vaccine? Hell, no! You also don't have a test kit for any of these diseases in your medicine cabinet.

If you get bitten by a dog, proof of the dog having had a timely rabies vaccine is sufficient to quell any fears of getting rabies from that bite. That's because the rabies vaccine works. The various covid-19 shots have no such track record.

One gets the shot and then the booster and then the second booster and you STILL have to worry about getting covid. That's not a vaccine. That's what I call a scam. And it needs to end.

To that point, my wife and I (both unvaccinated with these COVID shots) are taking a cruise in late September. I remember talk of only elite vaccinated persons being able to sail. I remember talk of this being a "pandemic of the unvaccinated". Now, neither are true. The vaccinated can and do acquire the virus, become infected (even without symptoms) and spread the virus to others.

It's finally understood that the unvaccinated are no threat to any other person as the vaccinated can, and do, spread the virus just as easily. The choice to remain unvaccinated is therefore a personal choice. And those that choose to become vaccinated do so to protect themselves against serious disease ... not their neighbors, friends, family. They can each make their own decisions on the safety and efficacy of the supposed vaccine. From where I sit, those that chose to take the shot don't look very "protected" as compared to historical vaccine efficacy.

Too many people died from the original strain and the mutation known as Delta. Most of those people who died were not vaccinated. I much preferred not to have to live in fear of dying so I protected myself with the vaccine. I will never see it your way and you will never see it my way. Agree to disagree.
