People’s lives and health matter TO me no matter what their political views.
Please talk to your doctor if you have concerns about being vaccinated.
Each of us is unique and there are a very small percentage of people who are at higher risk for severe side effects. The people helping to administer the vaccines are there to help screen people who might need to talk to their doctor. They are also there to watch for unexpected reactions -such as an allergic reaction. They are there to respond and help out.
I am so thankful to each and everyone of them for being there to help us.

“In an article this month for Breitbart, the right-wing website formerly run by Steve Bannon, John Nolte argued that the partisan gap in vaccination rates was part of a liberal plot. Liberals like President Joe Biden, Nancy Pelosi, Dr. Anthony Fauci and Howard Stern have tried so hard to persuade people to get vaccinated, because they know that Republican voters will do the opposite of whatever they say, Nolte wrote.
His argument is certainly bizarre, given that Democratic politicians have been imploring all Americans to get vaccinated and many Republican politicians have not. But Nolte did offer a glimpse at a creeping political fear among some Republicans.
“Right now, a countless number of Trump supporters believe they are owning the left by refusing to take a lifesaving vaccine,” he wrote. “In a country where elections are decided on razor-thin margins, does it not benefit one side if their opponents simply drop dead?”
I read that Florida has lost significantly more people to COVID than DeSantis had as a victory margin. Go figure.
Are boosters available yet?
