I don’t know who to believe about the safety or effectiveness of these vaccines.

We are declining the shots for a much more obvious reason:

We are simply not afraid enough of Covid19 (or any of its variants) to bother.

I’m 69 and my wife is 70. Our health is pretty good other than the normal aches and pains of getting old.

We were afraid of Covid19 for a few weeks back in March of 2020, when they first started all the fear-mongering. The worst-case scenarios and the stories of bodies piling up in make-shift morgues outside of Italian hospitals were alarming - at first.

But by April 2020, it was obvious that Covid19 was about as life-threatening as the common cold. Nobody was dying of covid all by itself - you could only die of Covid19 if you were already dying of something else. You couldn’t even know if you had it without a test - that’s how I scary it was.

Add to that the brazen political weaponization of Covid19. The Trump hating Democrats and Globalist multinational elites couldn’t hide their glee at the prospect of tanking the world economy in the months leading up to the US Presidential election.

So, I don’t know if I believe these horror stories about the danger of permanent genetic modification, spike proteins, etc..

I don’t know if I believe they are ineffective.

But I don’t care - I just don’t need a vaccine for this.

I think it was awesome that President Trump launched operation warp speed when he did, and gave us vaccines in record time. Covid19 was scary at the time. But that was almost a year-and-a-half ago.

I don’t need a vaccine for something so mild I don’t even know if I already had it!

I’m pretty sure I had it in mid-March 2020 but nobody was testing in AZ yet other than hospitals. I had no respiratory symptoms other than an annoying dry cough every 5 minutes, intermittent low-grade fever of 99-100 degrees, and extreme fatigue, all lasting 2-3 weeks; and a dull headache for about 10 days. I didn’t feel normal for about 6 weeks. I was 66 at the time with 1st stage hypertension but no other risk factors like obesity.

I take my vitamins, follow a healthy lifestyle, use hand sanitizer when I’m out, try to keep my distance around strangers, and pray. I have no plans to get the vaccine at this time, especially since the virus I experienced wasn’t severe enough to warrant putting an experimental substance into my body. I’ve never gotten a flu shot either because I’ve never had the flu, so I must be doing something right.
