Get the shots

Thanks to everyone negating everything the rest of us did to end this pandemic — social distancing, masking and vaccinations. Individuals should practice some collective responsibility and get the shots. Selfish, personal and political freedom isn’t American, it isn’t Christian and it isn’t human.

Sure, it’s not fun working out with a mask, but it beats the fate that awaits for people who are unvaccinated and get COVID-19. Intubation and being on a respirator really sucks.
