Vaccination . . . .


On a recent Saturday morning outside Munson
Medical Center in Traverse City, Mich., Janice Burtch
sat in a car holding a can of Diet Coke in one hand,
a pack of Marlboros in the other. Snow was falling,
the blacktop was wet, and she had just watched her
husband of 29 years take his last breath.

Unlike Janice, who was fully vaccinated and boosted,
Danny had refused to get the shot, something his wife
attributes to a long-standing distrust in government
and a heavy diet of Fox News.

A week before Thanksgiving, Danny, Janice and two of their closest friends - both unvaccinated - gathered for an evening of cards in Lewiston, a one stoplight town surrounded by state forests and inland lakes more than 200 miles north of Detroit. The friends got sick first. Danny tested positive a few days later.
Within days, his oxygen plunged dangerously, and he was rushed to a small rural hospital where he waited nearly two days in the emergency room before a bed in an intensive care unit opened up an hour and a half away in Traverse City.
During the next two weeks, his condition worsened day by day. He experienced a dramatic loss in lung function, his kidneys were failing, then he had a heart attack followed by a stroke that left him blind.

People "think God is going to create a miracle for everybody, and he's not. God helps those who help themselves. The vaccine was provided for us to help ourselves," Janice said. Her husband "chose not to get that vaccine. It is what it is.

This is a partial reprint from the Washington Post. It isn't intended to be a political statement about the politics of the virus or the vaccines to counter it. It is simply the truth about the risk of not getting vaccinated.

Vaccination is not 100% guaranteed but I will take any percentage it offers. I know the numbers game.

We rid the world of smallpox through global vaccination, and I was vaccinated as a child for MMR, then for a number of diseases before I could visit certain countries. I find resistance to this particular vaccine difficult to understand for any thinking person.

The simple truth there is a huge risk in getting vaccinated. May I suggest you keep an open mind about what is being censored in the news. It's a choice.

The real truth is there is NOT a "huge" risk in getting vaccinated!!
The sources you cited are exactly the kind of misinformation that is
causing vaccination hesitation. There is no actual medical evidence
in any of the articles.

I suggest you keep an open mind about what is being censored in the news. It's a choice.

The only valid censorship is pretty much covered under the 1st amendment
of the U.S. constitution.

I view your post as a political. My brother is 70 years old and has had covid twice. He's alive and well. I'll bet the WASHINGTON POST doesn't write about that.

Politics is human beings.
The point to the article wasn't pro or con vaccination but simply points out the correlation between not getting vaccinated and the regret for that choice.

It will always be a challenge to those who have blinders on and don't look beyond the main stream media. I suppose your against early treatments such as Ivermectin and all for giving the shot to children who have no risk in getting Covid-19.

Ivermectin is not an approved treatment for covid 19. It is primarily used to treat parasites suchas headlice.
Yes there have been and will be side effects to the covid vax. I don't consider "twitter" a reliable source for any information!!
MMAM "millions against medical mandates" is a newsletter mostly concerned with peoples consensual consent to being vaccinated as oppose to mandated by gov't or employers.
Frankly, relinquish I would be more concerned with "qualified immunity" in
this country that consensual consent But thanks for your comments.
