mellon Posted August 8, 2021 Share Posted August 8, 2021 What would it take for the anti-covid vaccine crowd to eventually take the vaccine? I'm pretty sure us older #### have taken numerous vaccines in our lifetime and in doing so have stopped the spread of some serious diseases. What say you?

I'm guessing a number would say trust in the media and government officials vis-a-vis information. I could be wrong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Two people close to me each had a son get covid. One died and the other very young person is waiting on a hospital bed since right now there is no room for more covid patients. It's not worth the risk of watching someone (if not yourself) very close to you get this disease. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My wife's entire family has had it, including a 90+ year old. They're all still alive. I know 2 people who have died for other reasons as well, but I'm not going to advocate for prohibiting the actions and lifestyles of others because of it. Finally, the CDC isn't even mandating the vaccine for it's own employees. That's saying something right there. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That’s fine, great, but just because Trump helped get it all kicked off does not mean we should all just jump to get it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EnjoyLife Posted August 9, 2021 Share Posted August 9, 2021 A global pandemic did not do it...people dying did not do it...over flowing hospitals and icu's did not do it...medical professionals begging people did not do it...so at this point I have absolutely no idea what would do it.

Black and brown folks also have low vax rates and also make the spread and possibly mutations possible. They just do not get the same level of condemnation from the media that un-vaxxed repubs/white conservatives get. I wonder why that is? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A lot of that is people with the attitude, “Why work when Uncle Sugar will pay you to stay home?” I’d much rather earn my money than have it given to me; That attitude is in my DNA. My old man worked up until he was 83 & died at 85, wore slap out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
