    Some are afraid of permanent effects from the assorted vaccines. (More fearful of a treatment designed to protect them than of a virus known to hurt and even kill them.)

    Others fear their effects may be too temporary.

    A few probably do both.

    David for good days

    Hopefully, people will continue to get vaccinated for the sake of their own health, and that of the vulnerable and innocent people who are in their lives. This vaccine is the best way to keep the Covid virus from infecting your body. This needs to be seen by people as a medical issue, and not some kind of political agenda.

    Waiting on approval for the Moderna Booster. I’ll be in line with my sleeve rolled up. I’m around it all day long at work and haven’t gotten sick, so I can say it works!

    Obviously due to increased vaccinations however slowly folks are coming around to that. Get vaccinated!
