I have lost 5 friends to COVID-19 (pre-vaccine) and have lost none since, because they are vaccinated. I got my first vaccine shot on the day I was eligible and the second on time. All of my family and close friends did the same thing and we celebrated (foolishly thinking this would bring back some normalcy to our world). We had no idea that Americans would be so divided on something that could save us all. Now, we all worry about the variants (like Delta) that can and are emerging due to those not vaccinated.
It is so strange and I cannot comprehend how people trust the medical community AFTER they get it and not on how to prevent getting a serious case. I gave up trying, but have been encouraged that the vaccine rate is going up. It just isn't fast enough. Anyway, those that are not vaccinated are putting my friends and family in danger - especially the children that are not eligible to be vaccinated yet. The longer this virus has to spread and mutate, the more dangerous it becomes for the vaccinated - there will be a variant that the vaccine won't cover soon. It is all just unbelievable... I wonder if people felt the same way about the Polio or Measles vaccines when first developed?
Anyway, I will stay away now. That is all I want to post on it. Just frustrated....
