This is one thing I don't understand.

If they get the shots, what's the problem? Even if you do not.


The presumption upon getting the vaccine is that it works.

If we were talking smallpox or even the flu you’d have no question about the vaccine, people get shots for contagious diseases.

This virus has killed two people known to me, both men in their fifties, neither with risk factors that I’m aware of.

I have a cousin who is so fragile with medical conditions he ain’t hardly left the house in a year on account of the virus, and my mom is 89. So ya I’m gonna get the shots.

Could the shots mess me up in the future? Possibly, but then I’m just this minute gonna take off in the dark for an hour on a bicycle to work alongside the morning rush.

Everything involves risk.
