A lot of people who are against getting the vaccine will never get the vaccine no matter what happens. It’s sad but true.

But a lot of people who have been vaccinated also feel as I do – ALL of Us would have been better served IF the Truth had been Clearly stated from the beginning.

To borrow from DJ:

The vaccine {is NOT} meant to prevent anyone from getting COVID. It’s meant to protect most of us from getting deathly ill or dying. And for the time being continue to wear your mask.  

Full Stop.

First: Thank you for the kind words regarding my boss.

Yes, the vaccine does offer a level of protection. That’s why I eventually gave in and got it in March of this year. But the vaccines never offered the level of protection that was strongly implied by Pfizer (and other biopharmaceutical companies) AND the CDC AND the Biden administration.

And then they strongly implied that people could safely take off their mask and get back to living life as usual. They gave people a False sense of security BD and millions of people took that and ran with it.

My bad. The thing I am saying is “if they wanted to.” For me I did not want to because I did not feel safe enough. But some people did and some people were already doing it without the cdc saying anything. I think we are going to be like they are in Asia. They wear mask all the time permanently. We are about to be like them.

It was right when they said vaccinated people could take their mask off if they wanted to because it was safe at that time. […]

Sadly BD this is where I have to respectfully disagree with you my friend. It wasn’t safe then…..and it’s still not safe now.

And please check me if I’m wrong – like me, you never stopped wearing your mask.

I know somebody who got sick after getting the vaccine too. The good thing is they would probably be dead by now if they did not get the shot. Thank God the vaccine made them feel less sick than they would have and probably stopped them from dying. I hope your boss and his wife get through it and get well.
