The problem is, that COVID-19 is highly contagious because of its method of transmission. When people get infected, it kills a certain number of them. I was so sorry that COVID-19 killed Herman Cain. I know you would be sorry if COVID-19 killed your dad, mother, sister, brother, and etc.
What the vaccines do is when you are infected with COVID-19, your immunity from the vaccine stops the virus in its tracks. You won’t infect another. Without that vaccine, you can catch the virus and infect another.
So, I ask if you are not getting the vaccine, what are you doing to protect others in case you get infected? And, if you do get infected, are you willing to take the chance, as you go through the coarse of the illness, that things won’t go as expected. Your immune system, due to your genetic predisposition, may go into the death causing cytokine storm. Scientist are looking into what that genetic factor is and want to find a cure. Until then, you will be in the dark, playing Russian roulette. And, I might add, because you could infect others, force them to play Russian roulette too.
I believe the vaccines are a must for many people. Not children. And other younger people have valid reasons to forgo. (Maybe they live in a rural area, far from crowds and little exposure to vulnerable populations. Maybe they are extra precautious with mask wearing and hand washing etc...)
But because of people like you, our country may very well go down the slippery slope where people you love are arrested/fired/banned from church and schools have their lives destroyed for not getting an injection that has little long term data. Regardless of how valid their reason for not getting a shot or just due to pure conviction. Including children. There are parents who are vaccinated themselves but don’t want their kids to be!
And today it’s the vaccine, tomorrow it’s something else. It’s the moral and spiritual cost that is at stake here far more than physical health.
It is not my responsibility to protect the whole world from myself.
If a person is sick, they need to stay home. That alone would stop the transmission of the majority of illnesses.
Aside from that, I am not going to rearrange my life on the presumption that I am some kind of Typhoid Mary.
People need to take care of their own bodies, which includes eating well, LOSING WEIGHT, getting enough sleep and exercise.
Those things alone will help anyone ward off disease, but I am not going to rearrange my life and take unknown treatments to “protect” someone who is too stinking lazy to take care of their own bodies themselves.
Well I have my own supply of meds to treat myself. There is no immunity from the vaccines, none.
