Not all who refuse to take the vaccine are irrational, selfish

I am a healthy senior who has never had a flu shot. I am not anti-vaccine. I follow the prevention protocols, wear a mask, self-distance, I do not travel and would be willing to be tested periodically for COVID-19.

Non-vaccinated people have been accused of being irresponsible, selfish and causing death. I object to being lumped in with protesters who shout obscenities and refuse to wear masks.

We do not know the long-term side effects of these vaccines. I pray that young children who are being vaccinated will not suffer serious side effects in their futures.
