re: LSU and SEC back the vax.

Shows how controversial the vaccine is in our country. Dems hate to admit Trump’s policies allowed for the vaccine. Dems want everyone to take it, though. Conservatives don’t want to be forced to take a vaccine, even though Trump championed it. Many on here who are very against the vaccine think LSU’s football team being at 97% vaccinated rate shows commitment and is a good thing.

You hit the nail on the head. There's all sorts of hypocrisy surrounding this thing.

I think of myself as neither for nor against it. To me, it's all about risk/reward. I'm a very healthy 30-something who had Covid last summer and found it incredibly mild. So the reward of getting the shot is little. The risk for me is the unknown 2 years down the road. More likely than not it is safe. However, I have little to gain by taking that risk. My dad on the other hand is aging and has COPD; he should indeed get the vaccine and has. My young children I would never make get the vaccine until I'm 100% confident of its efficacy and safety.

Everyone should take a common sensical approach to it.
