I won't judge others for their choices, but am saddened by the resistance, and mistrust of the vaccine, and the science behind it.
I know some individuals who are hardened and resisting just to say they resisted. I feel as Jamil does.
What saddens me is the fact that our society has reached a level of distrust in government, science, medical and others. How did this happen and where/when will it end. There was a time I did openly trust.
I spent my entire career (44 years) in the medical arena; patient care and education. I have taken all vaccines up to this one. As I stated before, I struggle with this one. I think I struggle because it was (is) so politicized. As far as I can tell, the only benefit of the vaccine is it's ablility to lessen the symptoms; transmission can still occur. (I am sure I will be called out on that).
I respect everyone's decision with this vaccine.
