I had my doubts about the vaccine. Then my cousin got covid and spent 6 weeks in the ICU. He begged to die and they finally let him. I have lost a total of 4 cousins and two good friends to covid, ranging in age from 26 to 73. I decided that death from the vaccine could not be worse than the way they died.
But I am totally against a mandate. It needs to be personal choice. I was not forced to take it and no one should be in my opinion. But if not being vaccinated makes you a risk to anyone at your job, them you have the right to quit.
I think, this will be somewhat relevant to the OP:
A review of more than 9,000 U.S. patients with severe COVID-19 infection showed less than 1% contracted the illness again, with an average reinfection time of 3.5 months after an initial positive test. Those are the findings from a study conducted by researchers from the University of Missouri School of Medicine and MU Health Care.
The researchers teamed up with the MU Institute for Data Science and Informatics and the Tiger Institute for Health Innovation to review data from 62 U.S. health care facilities. They found 63 of the 9,119 patients (0.7%) with severe COVID-19 infection contracted the virus a second time, with a mean reinfection period of 116 days. Of the 63 who were reinfected, two (3.2%) died. Patients categorized as non-white were at greater risk of reinfection than white patients. “Our analysis also found asthma and nicotine dependence were associated with reinfection,” said lead researcher Adnan I. Qureshi, MD, a professor of clinical neurology at the MU School of Medicine. “However, there was a significantly lower rate of pneumonia, heart failure and acute kidney injury observed with reinfection compared with primary infection.” https://medicine.missouri.edu/news/s...severe-illness

It doesn’t appear that a vaccination rate of 63% is going to stop this virus.
The actual infection to hospital rate is low but that statistic is insignificant. A more significant statistic is over 700,000 Americans are dead due to Covid and over 4.5 million across the globe. It's real, it's deadly - don't try to play the numbers game.

Then why are you playing that game? Is .14% annually significant? 2nd verse, same as the 1st. Use the whole number if the percentage is small. Use the percentage if the whole number is small. Nothing to see here.
