[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Why is it so hard to accept that 50% of Americans are making a different choice than you? I think it is about risk tolerance (or perception of risk), rather than politics or race issues. Some people just don't want a new vaccine for a disease with a low risk of death. Stressing out over who is vaxxed and who isn't can't be good for your immune system.[/quote] [b]Becasue their choice affects my health. They may get it and be ok but its another host dor possible mutation for a more deadly strain[/b]. [/quote] NP. Plus 100 to the bold above. And the first PP talking about "a different choice" -- what do you mean, "some people don't want a new vaccine for a disease with a low risk of death"? Do you even read the news, or did you read it last year before the vaccines came along? Right now, supposedly "healthy" adults in their 20s and 30s who are unvaccinated and without serious underlying conditions are getting seriously ill --sick enough to be in hospitals and on ventilators--in places like Florida. We're seeing, just like last year, reputable reports about hospitals getting overwhelmed and health care workers right back where they were in terms of being slammed with covid patients. Or do you just choose not to read the many articles about people saying from hospital beds, or their deathbeds, how they wish they had gotten the vaccine? Plenty out there, if you look at any news source other than Fox. Bet you don't "believe in" long covid either. Survive the infection but live with potentially lifelong effects. But I'm sure your immune system will protect you. Will it protect other people to whom you transmit Delta when you don't have symptoms but are infected? [/quote] I am vaccinated and I don't concern myself with other people's medical decisions. I also don't watch the news. I only look at the case numbers for my area. The past 17 months have been hell. I am trying to enjoy my life.[/quote]
