An Important Choice
It is very interesting to read and listen to those who urge vaccination try to scold or even demonize those who have not had at least one vaccination shot. (That they do this against people for whom the vaccine is available.)
The pandemic has been very hard on people. The vaccine is new. It does not, at least not at this point, guarantee one will not get COVID. It also does not guarantee one will not get sick from the vaccine. So, for some people, to make a decision is not done loosely. There are people who say they will never get the shot. There are people, like myself, who are not saying never but are in a wait-and-see mode. For the people who have done it, and that they did not have a problem, that is good that it worked out for them. For the people who have done it, and have had any problems, and maybe some of them are still having problems, that is something else. It is not unreasonable to choose to not have the shots from a vaccine that is, at this point, experimental. With more than one company involved, none has yet been approved by the FDA. So, it would be wise for those who scold people who have not yet been vaccinated to make an effort to understand. If they’re not going to make that effort, and this is coming from a number of people of a particular political persuasion, they should be reminded that no one can walk in the shoes of another person. People, still at this point in United States history, have choice.
Kim Iversen, in the below six-minute video, published to YouTube on July 20, 2021, addresses this topic. It has to do with the crackdown on misinformation. Iversen includes interesting polling information which is surprising. It furthers my point about my choice, at least so far, and why—as mentioned earlier—no one else has my [one’s] mind and body. I strongly suggest readers make sure to watch the video.
