I have been vaccinated. I do not feel anything dragging me down. I don't care if other people get vaccinated or not. If a person does not get vaccinated and dies from COVID, then that is their decision and it is all on that person. Why should I be bothered by what other people do or don't do if it has no affect on me?
Thanks. That seems to be a pretty logical and reasonable explanation.Immunity from infection has always been regarded as hypothetical and unknown in duration.
I’ve had coronavirus. Do I still need the vaccine?

Because if others don't get vaccinated then nothing really slows down, people continue to die, you would still be required to wear a mask everywhere you go, your kids would likely keep doing virtual learning, Bobby Dodd stadium would remain at 25% capacity, etc. There are societal impacts from large numbers of people getting vaccines that you don't get from your own personal shot. You did your part, but if others don't do their part then there is a cost to you and everyone around you.
No there isn't.
30% of people have been vaccinated and we are already seeing the positive results. Schools in my area have 100% school employees who wanted the vaccine have received it. The middle and high schools are going to be administering to the kids whose parents consent.
Yes, all of these things happened in spite of the anti vaxxers. What you are really saying is that you support everyone having the right to make their own decision as long as enough people get vaccinated that it doesn't inconvenience your life. Let's say only 10% of people got vaccinated and nothing in society changed at all and we all just braced for the next massive wave during flu season, while football games were being cancelled every week. Would you think differently?
Those who are not getting the vaccine are not delaying anything. "Let's say only 10% of people get vaccinated". We have been well passed that mark for a long time. What about, let's say that we travel back in time and COVID never happened? That is just as valid as your remark.
Again, you are just proving that your opinion that everyone can choose for themselves is based on the fact that many already chose to do the right thing. If you truly believe that it is a personal decision above anything else then you would have also been ok with very few people getting vaccinated and little to no change in the way things were going.
If the vaccine were available and a large portion of people decided not to get it but I did, I would not spend time nor effort worrying about what happened to the people who did not. However, you are addressing a hypothetical. That is not the actual situation. How I would react to or how I would behave IF very few people were vaccinated is no more important at this moment than what I would be doing if COVID had never happened. Many people HAVE been vaccinated. EVERYONE who wants to be vaccinated CAN be vaccinated. In the real world and the actual situation, there is absolutely no reason to continue restrictions at this point.
It reads more strongly than what I intended to say. There are multiple ways of caring. Sure I would care from an emotional level, especially for people who I am close to. However, there is also an objective level. If a friend were to be hit by a DUI driver and die, I would care on an emotional level and I would by sympathetic from an objective level. That friend was doing nothing wrong and was impacted by another person's decisions. If I had a friend who crashed and died while driving drunk, I would be sympathetic on an emotional level, but I would also recognize that his death was because of his own bad decisions. In the case of the vaccine, I would not try to force someone to get the vaccine, but I would not go completely out of my way to assist them if their own decisions become difficult to live with. Of course with family and friends, I wouldn't treat them differently in the case of COVID than anything else. However, in general I am not going to inconvenience myself because others make decisions that I don't agree with.
#science!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Im not stressing myself, I am happy with the momentum we have right now. I am just agreeing with the notion of the comic that some people are absolutely being dragged along in this while they do nothing to help. We are going to beat it without them. That I'm certain of. We still have a good bit of work to do but we will get there.
Emphasis on "should be".......
