Let’s dial back the hero talk. You know how many shots I had to get over my 24 years in the Army? Most of us were in very tough circumstances. Get the shot or lose your job. Try raising 3 kids on no income with the economy in tatters. I applaud people that got the shot in order to take care of their family. If you didn’t get the shot, good for you too. Maybe your circumstances allowed no financial hits. You weighed the factors and made a choice. Let’s not pretend everyone had the same choice. After my anthrax vaccine before going to Iraq I lost feeling in the fingers of me left hand for 6 months. Good times. It sucked, but there was no refusing and the shot did exactly diddly squat. I lost 4 family members to Covid. None of them were vaxed. Their pre-existing conditions we they were heavy smokers and over 50. Would the shot have helped? Maybe. But I still would not have made the shots mandatory if I were in charge.
Re: 74 - Good post, thanks for making.
I doubt it will register with the ignorant and hysterical readers who see it on the Internet.
God bless you, strider44. Don’t accept any guilt trips. You did what was best for your family in tough circumstances.
