Should people get vaccinated? In my opinion, yes. Should business and the government mandate it and threaten to fire you or worse? Absolutely NO, This is NOT Russia, China, Cuba or Iran, THIS IS THE USA.

Thank you for your post. It just confirms what the CDC and my doctor says and what I believe.

I did meet with my doctor there and between the two appointments. Here is what I learned.


—The largest primary care practice in The Villages, with over 60 doctors, has been riddled with COVID infections—26 cases as of this morning. They’re shifting all their appointments to telephone or FaceTime, cancelling all appointments that aren’t medically necessary altogether.

—At Florida Cancer Specialists, a huge practice with 100 offices and over 250 doctors thruout central Florida has shut down all but patient’s regularly scheduled and medically necessary procedures. No new patient or follow up appointments or procedures such as ultrasound, X-ray or other similar procedures.

—The entry window at Lake Medical Imaging in the Sharon Morse building was dark at 3:00 PM. I don’t know if they are open and operating.

—Florida Cancer Specialists has mandated that all their employees be vaccinated and show proof by next Monday or they will be sent home with no pay or be terminated. They’ve made it clear that the new rules are non-negotiable.

—One doctor showed me pictures of similar rules on the front door of an Ocala Hospital.

—The doctors rattled off the names of a dozen nearby hospitals who are what they called “Code Black”—not accepting any new patients for any reason. One doctor related an incident where a local man having a heart attack had to be airlifted to Miami. There are no hospitals within 75 miles of The Villages which are accepting new patients because they are completely full with COVID cases.

—Hospitals in Ocala had been sending new COVID patients home with a mask an oxygen tank. But now they’re reporting a shortage of oxygen because suppliers can’t keep up with the demand.

—One of my doctors reported that four of his patients, all younger than 40, have died in the last few days of COVID.

I came back home this afternoon shocked and scared. How this new Delta variant has spread and how lethal it is has frightened me to my core. This isn’t just on the TV news any more…it’s here, right in The Villages.

Respond however you wish to my post, I’m sure there will be naysayers and those who will claim their rights to personal freedom or claim the COVID reports to be false or created by the government, or simply fake news. But I’ve now seen enough evidence personally to know that’s not true. I’m pleading with you to reconsider both your own health as well as that of your friends and neighbors. Please, get vaccinated.


The parting words of that old Chicago cop that I quoted in my post earlier this week are even more applicable today. Please, please stay well out there…get vaccinated!

My husband got breakthrough Covid-19 and was ambulanced to The Villages hospital because his oxygen level was 84. They gave him oxygen for a few hours, took an X-ray and said it was good, and sent him home. The next day, his oxygen level was very low, our primary doctor said to take him to the Marion County hospital. They took a CT scan and found he had Covid pneumonia. He was there for 3 days. Meanwhile, I also tested positive. He is now home on oxygen, and we are quarantined.
Both of us were vaccinated with Pfizer. To those of you guys don’t think this is real, think again

I've turned off my air conditioner and wrapped my house so no outside contaminated air can get in. I'm still scared!

Some may call me crazy, but if we all do this it will only be 10 days to flatten the curve!

fantastic!

Apparently we also are not England, France, Germany, Italy, Israel, Canada and every other Western Democracy that has had far more rigorous governmental responses to Covid. Apparently these democracies understand that freedom does not include the right to spread disease, burden the health care system, and potentially lead to the deaths of people who did everything to protect themselves but were damaged by encountering idiots who see wearing a mask as an infringement on their free-dumb.

The gov does not tell you not to wear a mask. Do so if you want. Who is stopping you.
There is a lot of evidence that this virus is air borne not droplet borne which makes the masks useless.
The vaccine, so called, which it is not, is not the safest ever developed. It was rushed and has not been fully vetted. People who are vaccinated are spreading the virus just like people who are not vaccinated.
You are buying a lot of lies.
Hydroxychloroquine and ivermectin are highly effective but are not used because of “politics.”
Do not baaaaa too loud as you are herded into the pen.

I feel the same as you do. Thank you for the information. This is real!

Small Pox is a vaccine this is a shot that has no real promises except yes you can get Covid and become a host for the virus.

Is this a quote from Xxx?

I hate to disagree, but other than Israel the other nations are no longer democracies as we know them. They are socialist and authoritarian. And you're being naive because it's all about power and control not about safety. It's a slippery slope what's going on. Just wait and see. The Constitution is still a thing, and it limits the government's power.

Here's a suggestion: if you are concerned about the "breakthrough" infections, get yourself vaccinated, wear a mask (or three) or get a hazmat suit, stay 20 yards away from anyone you don't trust, and take any other precautions you deem necessary based on the "free-dumb" you enjoy in the USA. But please don't dictate how the rest of The People should prepare and be "safe." That's the most Un-American thing going on right now IMO.

The FDA Has received the approval request from the CDC. It WILL BE APPROVED! In the meantime, I am praising the OP for his informative post. Unfortunately, a vaccination for a virus that can kill you was and still is politicized. People are dying—young and old. Get the damn vaccine and stop putting your fellow man and families in danger. BTW, in case you didn’t know, Governor DeSantis is vaccinated. He won’t declare a mask mandate due strictly to politics.
