-- I am not an "anti-vaxxer". Your false characterization is not only incorrect, it reveals a lack of thoughtful consideration of what I wrote. I've had many vaccines -- many shots -- and have decided, after careful consideration, not to receive a few, including this one as well as the annual flu shots. My immune system is healthy, I take many supplements to keep it healthy, and see no need for me to receive these few injections. Also note that although I may comment on the annual flu and on the covid shots, I don't make demands on anyone else not to take them. Whether another decides to take them or not is actually none of my business.
-- I truly do not understand your connection between taking or not taking the covid shot with "splitting the conservative vote" ... unless you think that conservatives must behave like leftists and walk in lockstep with the loudest voices. Rather, I think conservatives have the ability, the strength of character to disagree -- thoughtfully disagree -- on something -- even an "important something" such as this -- without falling apart, without yielding to reflexive emotion.
-- And finally, your statement that conservatives who, after thoughtful consideration decide the covid shot is not for them, are "sickening the minority of less-educated conservatives" is simply ludicrous. It's like believing that wearing a mask will protect you -- and everyone else around you -- from a respiratory virus particle. That's just preposterous. There can only be one conclusion to be derived from your thoughtless statement: That by not taking the covid shot I am deliberately "sickening" everyone else (though you seem concerned only if the people I am threatening are "less educated conservatives younger than 60 years of age" ... a public display of true compassion, I add sardonically) ... another tactic of the Left to support controlling healthy people who are somehow charged with the responsiblity to "take care of others."
Clearly you can see I do not take lightly your mischaracterization of what I so carefully presented ... but perhaps I am wrong ... perhaps you simply do not understand what I wrote because you did not look behind your own preconceptions. I truly -- and honestly -- hope that in light of these clarifications that you at least reflect on your response. I think we agree that we need every thoughtful conservative we can find to fight this war in which we are engaged with the enemies within whose primary objective is to destroy our Republic and along with it our Constitution and our American quality of life. Cheers!
