Do you debate these statistics or are are you more hesitant/worried about possible side effects/down the road problems?

Here’s our WA State Health Department addressing vaccine questions/doubts: https://www.doh.wa.gov/Emergencies/C...s#heading62102
My condolences myhomeimnseattle for your family loss. We have signed up our 12 year old to get vaccinated. I feel like the OP is almost troll level. You don`t want to get vaccinated ? good for you. You do? great! I am a strong pro vaccine ( even before my mon and brother got " hit" ) but will not push anyone.

I'm not telling people what to do. I support getting vaccinated, but it's up to people to make their own minds up, & hope that logic will prevail & get the vaccine.

Please share your logic! - Most of us know folks who have decided against the COVID Vaccine, but there seem to be very few rational reasons for doing so.

Beware of the Black Fungus (for those who contract a severe case of Covid).

On a related note, it seems like Dr. JW Ulm might be on your side if you do not get boosters!

Vaccine-refusers are willfully exposing themselves to and spreading Covid-19 variants that are both more infectious and more lethal than the original variants that have killed over a half-million Americans.

This will only delay, or even defeat, "herd immunity", with Covid-19 likely becoming the "new flu", but many times worse. This will also only further restrictions, by a majority looking to protect themselves from you.

Want your kids to go to public school? Want to put them into public daycare? Want to fly? Want to travel overseas? Want to visit your parents in a nursing home? Want to attend a public college or university? Get vaccinated!

Honestly I just want things to be normal again. That's why I got mine. Just trying to do my little part, whatever I can do to help. It's completely selfish.

I've lived in Seattle almost a year and a half now, paying all this rent, and still haven't been able to fully enjoy it. Arrived out here at the beginning of 2020, naively planning to go to all these concerts and do the underground tour, take a cruise to Alaska, visit Canada, etc... oops.

I don't care if internet people think I'm a sheeple. Whatever. I just want to be a sheeple in normalcy, watching a band I like, happy with beer in hand. Would be nice if they would help me in this simple goal.

Sincerely,

Sheepless in Seattle
