In short, there's upwards of 8 - 10 million Americans who are really hoping (as in, their life depends on it) that the person standing next to them isn't infected.

Then keep those vulnerable people cloistered, like we do in any epidemic. We will not surrender our God given natural right to our bodies. It is unfortunate that people like you cannot trust your vaccines. I can’t imagine the angst. Praying for you.

A) Your plan is to have 8-10 million Americans surrender their ability to go out and do anything

B) I haven’t asked you to surrender any God given natural right to your body. I’ve supported every person’s right to make their own choice for themselves since the beginning. You know that from our previous discussions.

C) It has nothing to do with me not trusting the vaccines. The human immune system can be primed by a vaccine to an extent, but if it’s not functioning well enough for various reasons, then nothing will help the person.

D) I was simply answering the question about why it matters to those who are vaccinated that some choose not to be. There are 8-10 million Americans who have a high risk if they’re exposed, regardless of vaccination, because they don’t have an immune system functioning well enough to protect them. That’s the answer to the question (well, the main answer, there’s also the issue of unvaccinated people who become infected being potential variant factories).
