Im vaccinated .. Im going to games regardless .. my point is until people get vaccinated then there are going to be unvaccinated people get the virus that are gonna continue to fill hospitals and die .. its very simple ... I wish they would adopt ..maybe more people would consider getting the shots ... anything that can be done to urge people to get the shot to minimize death and serious health issues Im for .. period .. its a simple message .. and a simple system to keep people safe and from serious illness in hospital stays on vents and death . large majority of people in hospitals in bad conditions and those who have died have been unvaccinated .. fact.
But that doesn’t really address those of us who have already had COVID and only had mild symptoms, especially if young & healthy. Why should WE get a vaccine that will be largely superfluous to us?
If someone is older or has health issues, they should probably get the vaccine. Even if young & healthy and they have yet to get the virus, they might should get the vaccine.
I’m not anti-vaxx, I am anti-gov’t & societal coercion to enforce people to get the vaccine to live a normal life. That triggers alarm bells to me.
My wife tested positive for COVID twice, the first time in November with mild symptoms, the second time in March with no symptoms. I tested positive last November, but didn’t get tested in March because I was already having to quarantine for 3 weeks anyway (due to my employer’s rules). If it wasn’t a false positive and my wife did have it again in March, then I most likely had it a second time, as well. If I did have it a second time, I had zero symptoms. Thus, I am not concerned with catching it again, except for the potential of spreading it to others. The vaccine doesn’t prevent infection or spreading, and isn’t likely to confer any more benefit than I currently possess, so why should I get it?
Concerning the CDC & Gov’t: I am not a conspiratorial person, but as much as this vaccine has been foisted upon the populace, I am skeptical that the authorities responsible for pushing it would be completely honest about potential problems with it. In fact, the method of gov’t thus far in the pandemic (whether with masks, lockdowns, vaccines, etc) has been: mandate them and deal with any problems or consequences later down the road. That doesn’t exactly foster my trust.
