“Free Covid test! Free vaccine! Have you gotten your vaccine?”

One afternoon last week, Humaira Choudhury called forth outside the East New York office of the nonprofit where she works, catching the attention of Johnny Flynn, 63, who lives around the corner. Like most residents in Brooklyn’s 11208 zip code, Flynn had yet to get his first COVID-19 shot—though not due to a lack of interest. It had just proven more difficult than he anticipated.

Flynn initially inquired at his local pharmacy, but they weren’t offering it. “They said ‘try online, something will come up,’” he recalled, but he struck out there, too. “So, I’ve just been waiting.”

It doesn't matter anymore. The American Public has decided against the vaccine and eradication of Covid.

Get it when you can and as soon as you can but as far as the big picture...doesn't matter. Covid is here for a VERY long time thanks to idiots pretending to be health experts.

Always someone with a Captain America Invincible Mindset

Tell that to the people suffering from Long COVID.

I'd tell them to get vaccinated, wear two masks, social distance. What's that got to do with me?

It'll probably go better now that pharmacies take walk-ins. But I also wonder how many of the unvaccinated just plain had Covid already and aren't in a rush. I saw a poll that said about half of NYC's firefighters weren't planning on getting a vaccine... it was an old poll though, when the vaccines were just starting to roll out.

If you get it and get sick, make sure you pass up any medical care since it's so insignificant.

Also, if you are or a loved one sadly passes from this, I hope you/they don't try to do a Go Fund Me to pay for your/their medical/funeral costs.

There have been so many people that thought this was fake. They got it, got sick or died, then they or their family says something along the lines of "This is not a joke, I wish I took this seriously."

That and I remember when a Biker crashed and died and they said it was a covid death. Then news retracted their statement soon after.

Since when do people trust the government and Big Pharma?

Big Pharma works. Go take a look at India.

Getting vaccinated is an individual choice. If they don't want the vaccine, they'll catch COVID sooner or later. It might be a large viral load or small. More virulent strain or less virulent. I gained 20lbs during COVID, I'm not as healthy as I used to be. Maybe others are.
Pick your poison.

Israel/UK studies show that about a 50% adult vaccination rate cuts hospitalizations by about 90%.
