Thanks to those few (?) who accept the many who have yet to receive a shot / the shots. I understand that the FDA has an EUA (emergency use authorization) for the shot regimen as it currently stands. I am waiting for full FDA approval. I am not among you now, but have visited as recently as a few months ago. I will return in August. I will wear a mask everywhere I go. I will avoid large gatherings. When the anticipated friendly residents address me, I will (try to) maintain my distance. I do not hide that I am not yet vaccinated.
Heaven forbid that anyone might remain who is college educated, wealthy, open-minded, law abiding, tax paying, home owning and endlessly curious about current events. No?
To those of you, like me, who await the full FDA approval, suck it (the negativity) up, keep your head up, stand firm, and listen to your head and heart. This will all pass, some day - or you will. :-)

Even though I have received my Covid inoculation, I do not attempt to encourage OR discourage others to do the same. I simply give my reasons for obtaining the shots and leave it up to others to do as their reasoning dictates. I do NOT get the FLU shot and have never had the flu. Lucky? I received my covid shots ONLY because of my concern for my spouse's medical condition--- not because of any concern for others. Just being truthful. I value my own life over strangers'. That said, if I was to encourage the vaccination and then it turned out to have permanent harmful secondary effects down the line, I would feel guilty. Also, if was to discourage getting the vaccination and they became ill, I would also feel guilty. That becomes a conundrum.
If you are scared, I understand. Don't let your fear influence others to make a potential life threatening decision.
There is nothing wrong with presenting the facts, but it is wrong to insist that one's opinion is FACT.
It is my OPINION that since I have about 20 years give or take an unknown amount of time, left on my life I will enjoy taking care of my spouse and attempt to give her as much time together as possible. I am not concerned about the long term effects of this vaccination. I doubt that if there are any, then it will probably not effect me in the time I have left. On the other hand, if it gives my spouse more time with me, then I take that vaccination along with her. That is my reasoning, and it has absolutely nothing to do with politics, education or wealth. Selfish? Maybe, but whether or not someone else feels I am right or wrong really does not concern me.
Something one needs to ponder: What would be the state of our country now, IF we did not have this vaccination?
On the other hand, if this virus effects children hardly at all, can we not wait to force the vaccination on them for a while to research the possible side effects (if any) that the serum has on us? Is there any reason to rush to get them vaccinated? If we have our vaccinations, the children should not be dangerous to us or anyone else vaccinated.
