OP -
This is not a discussion you can have with most people. Because there is too much anxiety surrounding it.
It’s much better to deal with facts. I can offer you a small % of facts to consider. I am part of a large medical group that is statewide.
We have 46 total physicians in the group. Want to take a guess as to how many of us have taken the COVID vaccine?
8.
(Eight)
One has diabetes, 4 of us are over 60, one has Lupus, and the others have medical issues in their family where any exposure could be serious. (Transplant recipients in nuclear family or parents battling cancer).
There is not a single physician in our group who has received the vaccine because “it could protect them or someone else”.
We have also had 5 physicians test positive for COVID in the past year and 2 of them were sick enough to miss a week of work. (Both said it was about like a bad flu).
