Well, this has certainly been an interesting thread....sort of. I haven’t read through each page but comments seem typical of the topic. Since we are all sharing our thoughts here are mine. I have (luckily) avoided covid...so far. I have done this by being vigilant about wearig a mask and avoiding crowded places (like the scientists said). I have actually switched from being an ardent supporter of going to the office to embracing working from home. I didn’t think I would like it but to my surprise I have found that I love it!
For those who don’t want to get the vaccine, think about this (the operative word being "think"). Is the source of information you are using better than the scientists who developed the vaccine? I find it funny that some will shun the vaccine (which is FDA approved) for horse dewormer that is not FDA approved (for covid). Consider that polio has been juuuuust about completely eliminated from the planet due to vacciations. My mother-in-law took her last steps at 11 years old. She has spent the remainder of her life in a wheel chair. Oh, and scientists developed that vaccine as well. Here’s what gets me. 750,000 people have died from covid in the U.S. and we have people fighting against getting the vaccine. 3000 people died as a result of the 9/11 attack and we engaged in two wars and changed our laws to allow the Government to spy on us, which we learned from Edward Snowden. Hmm, I just don’t get that. I work with a guy who is 29 years old, works out every day, and is very healthy. He almost died from covid! Everyone in our office thought we were going to lose him. He was unvacciated of course.
For those who shun the vaccine; I would like to attend an audio show because I have never been. Based on what I have read here I probably won’t anytime soon because those of you who remain unvaccinated create too high a risk level for me. Despite all of this typing I suppose I won’t have changed anyone’s mind so this is potentially a fools errand. I implore you though. Do the right thing and get vaccinated. Just do it and help make us all healthier. Oh and my power cord is better than your power cord 😆
