Our conversation is how a conversation should be.
Our world is full of options. It can be hard for some people to watch other people choose differently.
Agree. It's hard to read some of the threads on here with both sides going at it tooth and nail like each other is the enemy.
It's a choice. It should always be a choice. That's freedom. I've also always said either this vaccine works or it doesn't. If I'm vaccinated and your not, why should I worry? Why should you worry?
I've also always said if someone is otherwise healthy with no co-morbidities, why would they take the shot? Why should they?
I know people who caught the China Virus and had no more than the sniffles and a mild fever for a few days. A few of them in their 70's and one with diabetes (a co-morbidity) who recovered just fine.
I also know a few people who caught it and ended up in the hospital because of it. Both had breathing issues and were otherwise healthy w/o any co-morbidities.
Finally, I also know a few people who lost loved ones because of it. One's a friend who lost her mother. Another is a co-worker who was married to the first Chicago Cop who died of the China Virus. He was considered healthy and fit. Why it took him, who knows?
If I was otherwise healthy and didn't have the genetic condition I have, I wouldn't have taken the shot. I really wouldn't have. I'd have taken my chances because they're really quite small for anyone to catch it and die from it, considering the tens of millions of people who had it and recovered from it vs. those who died.
I tried like hell to talk my GF out of getting it, she did it because she was afraid of catching it and giving it to me. I disagreed with her over it because we both took reasonable precautions and I did all the things I could do to boost my natural immunity and much of those things I read here on FR.
I think it's great you and I can have this conversation here on FR and not be going after each other like it's a holy war or something.
Stay healthy and best to you and your family.
