I kind of wonder what the profile is of someone who is above 70 and not vaxxed. Most 70+ Americans are vaccinated, Trump supporters or Biden supporters. They probably have extreme health problems, precluding them from being vaccinated.
I'm closer to 80 than 70 and have no health issues except very mild HBP, for which I've been able to reduce medication to a minimal level with the goal of eliminating it completely.
Our resident doctor on these threads can probably verify that BP under 120 with 50mg of Losartan can't be considered anywhere near an extreme health problem.
Obviously, I'm only speaking for a population of one. But, you asked.
All August deaths counted as "vaccinated" per the State of Colorado must have been vaccinated with all doses required per vaccine for 14+ days prior to positive PCR.

Some of them do, but in a lot of states the unvaccinated share of the over-65 population is relatively high - in the 10% range. In other states it is much lower, more like 2% or 3%. I suspect the real rate of medical issues is closer to 2% than 10%, and the states with the 10% of seniors unvaccinated have most of them willfully unvaccinated, rather than medically contra-indicated. To believe otherwise, you would have to believe that the medical problems vary dramatically from state to state in a way that other medical conditions don't, which I submit, is implausible.

That's a good point. I can't really think of a single reason people over 60 shouldn't get the jab. It's a shame it's been politicized to this degree. I blame the left entirely for this (Biden, Harris, Pelosi, news pundits all said they were wary of the jabs until they won).
Your posts have been really insightful. Can you think of a reason (other than extreme health issues)?

Fear. Blood clots, heart issues...and yes, I know those exist with Covid too. Damned if you do and damned if you don't.

One reason... do you think vax adverse reactions only happen to younger people?
I'm not chancing it even though it could be said that if some of those effects may not be immediate, I might die first anyway so why worry about them?
Maybe because I won't die soon if genetics provide any clue.
In the meantime, after this administration has to give up it's agenda, something better may come along.

no "extreme health problems" here. I dont believe in "vaccines" that aren't vaccines and mandates by govt about what I inject into my body. Has nothing to do with Trump or Biden. Didnt vote for either. Stop stereotyping people.

That’s a fair point. My folks are in their mid 60s and there are days where I wonder if I’ve coerced them into taking a cure that may be worse than the disease…
I always forget that a lot of posters here are a lot older and it makes sense why so many are so afraid.

most of you, if you have any sense, should be afraid of a govt that imposes their health mandates on the populace.
