"I am 71. I am not getting a vaccine shot. Hear about too many fairly healthy aged people that die after getting shot so why take any risk?"
What's the definition of fairly healthy, particularly in America? America makes up ~ 4% of the world's population yet , at present, retains > than 20% of covid cases and deaths.
My father, who'll be 91 in early April has had both vaccines w/o issue. So have one of my sisters(case manager/RN), two of my inlaws ((a doctor and a dentist(cancer survivor)), a niece and nephew- all w/o issue. My wife(mid 50's) is due for the her second shot this Friday.
I guess we all assess things in our own way. Glad you made out ok.
