@oldno7 if I hadn't shared a canyon with you I would think you lived your life in memes. [emoji1]

I guess when you work in healthcare and education you have a different view point on vaccinations. I don't feel like I am being forced. I do it to protect me, my family, my students and the patients I serve.Quote:

Some do. You can opt out, but if you do you opt out you have to wear a mask during flu season. I don't like wearing a mask. Even right now most everyone at work is except those of us in the lab. If I worked direct care I would wear one.Quote:

Because I worked in clinical microbiology they had me immunized for meningitis. I see it as added protection. Why not utilize vaccinations?
I don't understand anti-vaxers or I won't do it because it is against my rights... but everyone has a right to chose. I respect that. I just don't understand it.

Dana said, many times--every time she got a flu shot she got sick.
So refused after a time I'm thinking.
People claim that. I don't argue. I personally have never gotten sick after any of my shots. Or my kids or anyone else that I know that I work with.Quote:

Along with the military. I don't remember being asked one way or the other walking down the line.Quote:

"Catch 22" is a good phrase for this. The more we quarantine, the longer we are going to need to quarantine, because the virus is always going to be out there waiting for us to leave our houses. This virus is so contagious, that so long as it exists anywhere on the planet, it can cause another pandemic UNTIL THE POPULATION BECOMES IMMUNE.
We aren't going to become immune until we go out and get the virus in large numbers. I predict that we are going to start hearing the term "herd immunity" quite a bit as government at all levels succumbs to the reality of what the sequestration policy has wrought.
There is going to be a recognition that we are just going to have to bite the bullet and let the virus win over the short term so that humanity can win over the long term. It is an awful trade off, but we have no choice but to make it."
