I’d like to share some comments re: vaccines

I’m a senior living in a 210 apartment senior complex. When word of the available COVID vaccine first came out, I said not me – I’m not going to take that; it’s barely been tested. Then, by the end of January 2021 with COVID raging, I was thrilled and thankful that the county came to my apartment complex to offer us all the vaccine. Now six months later we’re being told that in a couple of months we should be getting a booster. A month ago when I first heard the word booster, I thought hmm, I don’t think so. Personally I did have a reaction to the vaccine which has taken me several months to get relieved from. But again thankfully I will be accepting that booster.

I wish that every day on every news cast the following statement would be made: Every day that COVID is allowed to run rampant it develops more and more variants. The COVID-Delta Variant is many times more dangerous to humanity than the original COVID. Get vaccinated. Wear masks. Stop the development of more variants.

One of my absolute favorite words is WHY . Explain the “why” and hopefully you bring down the barrier of resistance (in all things).

I want to go back about 15 or so years to when the talk was that our children’s vaccines were giving them autism. At that point our babies were receiving about a dozen vaccines. Thankfully I did not have a child that I would need to make a decision about because my “understanding” was that all the vaccines were being treated with a mercury-based preservative (tur something or other-I’ve forgotten the name). This product in one or two vaccines wouldn’t cause damage but 12 vaccines – a real problem. The product was ultimately removed from the vaccines. Perhaps here again if people understood the “why” of the vaccine resistance and the whole story there might be less resistance.

Stay well all.
