I’ve never seen such reluctance to be vaccinated. A bunch of paranoid people who while they are afraid of a vaccine they down handfuls of pills everyday for a multitude of health problems. Like those medicines won’t cause negative harm to them as well as treat their high blood pressure, arthritis, and on and on. It’s ridiculous. Just plain ignorant. You got all the other conditions and you risk getting covid. And even worse you risk giving it to your family and friends, and fellow community members cause you somehow believe you have a right to endanger others. You’re a sad, pathetic bunch.
29 deaths in the last 7 days. Wow. Pray for these families. Folks, the vaccine is not necessarily going to prevent you from getting Covid, but the chance of dying from covid when fully vaccinated is 1 in 30,000.
