No it isn't.

It is because before the pandemic those folks had anxiety...and they need time to see that we don't have another surge.

Some of the folks I know that are hesitant, slow to get back to normal are conservatives. They don't pay attention to Biden but they have anxiety about things. They worried about going to movie theaters before the pandemic...you think they are just going to jump back into live theaters and all that was 'normal' before.

You and others who cannot or will not take the Covid Vaccines, have no reason to tell anyone on this forum why. It is no ones business. And Frankly, many of the posters on here, will Not believe a word you say, anyway.

I have a cousin in the same boat as yourself - and I tell her the same thing.

She has a doctor note now - stating she cannot be vaccinated.

And, If anyone bashes you(I hope not) They can take a flying leap to hell...

----

I know plenty of Conservatives who took the vaccines and several Dems who didn't.

I hate to say it - but the Dems on here, all think that Conservatives are the ones who are against the Vax.

Many people on both sides - just don't want the stab or some just can't for various reasons.

UK, Canada and other countries who don't have the same access to vaccines are quite happy for folks to have one dose.

It will still mitigate the spread and helps to minimize symptoms.

So if folks are worried get the one dose and be done.

And if you need a mask to feel secure -wear a mask.
And if you don't -- don't.

Yours and my wife's medical situations are about the highest risk for Covid 19. She had Covid last year and it almost killed her. She has now been vaccinated Moderna X2 and is finally recovered from the Covid.

Same with NC's governor, plus he dropped a bunch of other restrictions. COVID-Karens on my news feed are having a meltdown. "I'm fully vaccinated but now I'm gonna stay home more because of this!!" LOL okay have fun

I'm all in on the vaccine but I understand those folks struggling to get it. I'm hoping that enough of us get at least one dose and over time we see that there are not long term effects. Maybe wishful thinking...but we need that way of thinking.

It's what has lead the way for medical innovation for years.....some risk always....

So, you accompany this poster to his/her appointments with this doctor, so you can make this claim with from first hand observation, eh?

We lost ONE YEAR from Covid. Enough is enough.
If the vulnerable/fearful/brainwashed wish to continue wearing their masks, fine by me. Rock on.
I'm choosing to live my life, risks be damned; and there are many besides Covid.

The doc is most likely in private practice where patients can be discharged for non-compliance. This of course needs to be handled compassionately, and the patient cannot be left abandoned.

Yup. The brainwashed liberals on my social media feeds are all proudly proclaiming that they will continue to wear their useless masks too.

These people are beyond pathetic.
