No, the issue is exactly about getting vaccinated. Either those who refuse to get vaccinated don't think they can catch Covid or after unknowingly getting infected, being asymptomatic and passing it on to others. I'm sure a lot of those who ended up dead from Covid felt the same way. Unless they have a valid medical reason not to get vaccinated, they are misinformed, scared of needles or don't give a damn about anyone else, there is no valid excuse for not getting vaccinated. Religious objections to vaccination don't wash either. All religions I am familiar with teach responsibility and concern for others. Several surveys have shown Atheists are more likely to get vaccinated than religious people. Imagine that.
I personally know of two people that thought it was a hoax or that they were too healthy to get a serious case. Now they are statistics.
From my perspective, after Covid having killed over half a million people in this country alone, anyone who had a shred common sense or empathy for his fellow men, wouldn't hesitate to do his part to help end this pandemic. But if you are too self centered or have bought into the misinformation and ignorance that is spreading as fast as the virus, then I can only hope neither they nor their family get it.

I'm a save yourself first then what ever shakes out after that so be it, kind of fellow man. I got vaccinated, the rest of my fellow man has the same decisions to make concerning vaccination. Their choice. No judgment from me.

I don't know of anyone who got vaccinated to save others. That never enters the conversation. They got it to protect themselves.

I'm not one to vaccinate but did because I did not want to bring it home from the hospital to my 87 year old mom...

Director of Nursing said she was very surprised to see me because we have gone round and round on Vaccines... and especially the annual flu shot.

I hate needles. I’m the kind of person who sees a needle and gets weak in the knees. If they draw blood I tell them I’d better lay down because I’ll end up that way any way.

I was freaking out a day in advance about the COVID shot but didn’t do to bad, never felt light headed or felt like I was going to pass out.

A little off topic but I have had exactly one flu shot, I was at the doctors anyway and said why not. A few months later we were coming back from a vacation and I was driving. We stopped to eat and I realized the last half hour was a blank, I shouldn’t have been driving. I got the flu and felt pretty bad. My wife thinks I’m kind of a wimp when I get sick. Sure enough she got it after me and was pretty sick. I was putting a cold wet cloth on her forehead and she said “if I had known you felt this bad I would have babied you more”. I never let her forget those words. Did I feel less sick because I had the flu shot? Maybe.

You would not have faired well going down the double line for your inoculations prior to shipping out to SEA.

Probably not. Let’s not even talk about if I see the sight of blood.

I have seen quite a few with that malady . . . didn't last long (the malady).

You probably caught a strain of the flu not covered by the flu vaccine. It happens. One of the hopeful things is that with the new mRNA tech, they may develop a vaccine good against all strains of the flu, so no wild viruses harshing our high.

I did. I never get sick, because
I’m not around people very much. When I became eligible I passed at first as it was still in short supply and I felt that others needed it more. I finally got it so that I could go visit my mother, who I hadn’t seen since well before Christmas. (I was also POed because a cousin, who has been waiting a year for a kidney transplant, still had to wait for his shots)

Me crankier than usual? I don't think that's possible? 😆

Wife and I were a little sore but no biggie. Happy to be safer.

We can't wait to hug our one son and his family who are in contact with lots of people.

Hell, I've ran so many things through various parts of my body, a vaccination is nothing.

Just a couple of months ago I had done some MIG welding and had several pieces of wire lying on the bench, and when I went to pick one up, somehow I ran it right through my right index finger. Hardly even felt it, and kind of surprised me when I saw it. When I pulled it out and it didn't bleed but a drop or so. When you cut those wires with the welding pliers it makes the ends like a needle.
I can post a picture if you want.
