In a rural stretch of northeastern Florida where barely half the people have gotten a coronavirus shot, Roger West had no problem telling others he was “adamantly anti-vaccination.”
The co-owner of the Westside Journal weekly newspaper used his voice as a columnist to widely share his doubts about the vaccine and his mistrust of the health experts in the U.S. who have been urging everyone to get it.
“I do not trust the Federal Government,” West wrote recently. “I do not trust Dr. Fauci, I do not trust the medical profession, nor the pharmaceutical giants.”
But something happened to change his mind: Two of West’s close friends became ill with the virus, and a third died. Rattled and stressed, he prayed for guidance. Then, when his mother and another relative both urged him to get vaccinated, he took it as a sign from God. West drove to the Winn Dixie supermarket and rolled up his sleeve for the first of two injections of the Moderna vaccine.

Joseph Mengele would be so proud of this mass media coverage...
gotta get those citizens to line up for the medical experiments....
The Virus surge should not be a surprise, Biden’s Department of Homeland Security purposely transported thousands of infected illegal aliens to Fla. to try and turn FLa. blue.
Gave no description of his friends. How old, physical defects, etc.
FAKE NEWS!!
NOT in FL any longer but.......NAH! Still not interested. Over 70 auto immune issue and I just don’t want it. “Pay the price/not as smart as I thought!” column.
A vaccine that doesn’t prevent you from getting sick
A vaccine that doesn’t prevent you from spreading the virus
A vaccine that has killed more than 12,000 people
A vaccine without any long term studies
A vaccine that has no proven ability to prevent infection from the current or any variation of the disease
The stupid of humans baffles me
If they publish one more piece of vaccine propaganda it’s an established fact that everyone who thinks the jab has excessive death and health side effects (plus it is an untested biotech, never before used) will suddenly change their minds. Sure, sure they will.
I won’t click an AP link. Where in Florida did this occur?
You don't say? Funny, I haven't seen that here. Not at all. Of course, Mr. Roger West is an exception, so let's treat him as the norm.
Even the CDC says the PCR test cannot tell the difference between COVID-19 and the common every-day flu.
They don’t know if this truly a COVID-19 outbreak or a normal flu outbreak.
This is nothing more than government sponsored pro-vaccine Propaganda and you are helping them do it.
I have not reconsidered.
I’m pro vaccine but not endless boosters for young and healthy.
