I work sometimes at retailer where I’m expected to wear a mask (city ordinance). We take them off between clients, honestly, but sometimes a customer approaches apologizing for not having one on. I tell them to please not put one on for my benefit, that they are not obligated even when I am.
I have stopped giving my children routine vaccines, and as a rule thinks it's silly to vaccinate for something with such low risk. That said, while I think vaccines are problematic, I'm not convinced they're sinister. Plenty of people get vaccines with no ill effect. I know mom friends who are forced by ex-husbands to vaccinate their kids, and they help them detox (activated charcoal) and support their immunity as much as possible. While I won't choose the vaccine, if I had to then I would research the best way to stay healthy after. I do have a number of close friends and family, including nurses, who have had it. The worst I've heard about is super-sore arms and legs, and one fever. I disagree with them that it's better than Covid but...it's done.
Pray about it, though. Talk to your wife about it. I would be willing to pinch pennies, downsize, relocate, for my husband's health if we decided we aren't comfortable with the risk.
I'm not giving up on this senator yet. ? https://www.foxnews.com/politics/lindsey-graham-tells-biden-harris-get-off-your-rear.amp
They’ve become convinced that Covid is worse. Even though they’re also convinced that half the population is out there spreading it with zero symptoms or ill effects. It’s the craziest thing.
(To be fair, Covid was very very frightening for one member of my household. The rest of us followed it with a mild but strange cough or sniffle. It’s a bizarre illness.)
Why does he, though? This is so curious.
