I have had COVID-19 and I remain unvaccinated. There is so much data, good and bad, that people like me just want to make sure the vaccine is safe. Why would I inject myself with something that was rushed through the system? I survived COVID-19 and now have antibodies.

In his letter, Virden states that many people get the flu vaccine, and I would like to add that many people do not. It is recommended to get the flu vaccine if you have underlying conditions. Some years I get a flu shot and other years I do not, but I have a choice!

I, too, have lost family members to COVID-19 but also to cancer, Alzheimer’s, heart disease, heart attack and stroke. It was estimated that 70-85 million people perished in WWII and the human race goes on. Politicians and Left-leaning media decides on what we should focus on. I trust neither. If I was scared enough or not healthy then I would probably get the vaccine.
