No, and won't.
Yes. But with that comes personal responsibility. Not up to me to pay for your habits or rehab.
I just want to say thank you to everyone who skips out on the vaccine...
Darwinism is a beautiful thing...
I agree 100%
Or you get the Covid vaccine, catch the Swine Flu and die anyway. There are dozens of flu viruses floating around all the time. All of them can kill you.
I'm 55 years old. I've got parents that are 85 & 90 years old. I've got two children who have my 5 grandkids from 2 years to 10 years old. I've got a job around people I care very much about who have small children & elder parents and grandparents. And I've got my wife of 35 years. I'm going to do everything I can to make sure I'm around to enjoy them all AND I'm going to be responsible enough to do everything I can to make sure I'M NOT THE ONE that causes any of them to become a casualty of something we can do something about. I've had the flu and I've had pneumonia in 2013. I didn't/wouldn't take the vaccines before I was sick with both. It was a terrible month in my life and I don't ever want to go through it again. Since then, I've taken the flu vaccines every year and the pneumonia vaccines when I'm due. I'll be getting the shingles vaccine soon, too. And when it's available, I'll be getting the COVID vaccine. It's up to each individual. But l love and care about my family enough to do the responsible thing FROM MY POINT OF VIEW. I've got a lot to live for...........plus I want to be around for the Dawgs next National Championship!
Merry Christmas and GO DAWGS!
I mean God forbid I get this and recover like over 99% of people do. I have a better chance of dying in a wreck on the way to get the vaccine than from COVID.
You aren't concerned that you will take this and get it anyway thus providing a false sense of security? From what I have read, there is no guarantee you won't still get the virus.
Percentages...
Anything that changes the percentages in my favor - or our favor - is a good option. Our entire medical system is based on percentages.
Not a fool-proof option - there are few fool-proof options, few 100% paths. But for the life of me I don’t know why people wouldn’t choose a higher percentage path.
Just for perspective’s sake - the 99% stat sounds good until you apply it to 350,000,000 people.
And I am gonna say this - if you’re not a minority, or not over a certain age, or don’t have some health issues, then this is not as scary - I understand. But there are millions of people who are, and our vaccination participation lowers their chances of sickness a ton.
Great post.
If getting the vaccine gets me back to church and serving without bringing the virus home to my diabetic husband, count me in.
Considering COVID-19 is 6x more contagious than the flu, and in people over 70 the mortality is around 10-14%, your church family thanks you as well.
Relative to 18-29 yo adults, mortality in age 50-64 is 30x higher, 65-74 is 90x higher, 75-84 is 220x higher, and 85+ is 630x higher.
Those 65+ individuals are the ones who gave birth to ALL OF US.
And those whose choose to disregard this are candidates for the Darwin Award.
Great Christmas message.
Why do we have to attack people for their beliefs? "Darwinism Award" goes to people who are stup.id and deserve to die, right? Is that what you wish upon the roughly 50% of the population who have reservations about taking the vaccine?
There are a number of very good reasons to take it. There are also some very reasonable objections. Why can't we respect both sides, without resorting to insults?
Not insulting anyone bro. And as far far as a Christmas "message", hope all is very merry with you and the others.
