What's this?

I didn’t say anything about the vaccine other than

I don’t believe it can be effective given the short amount of time to develop it. By all means, if YOU want it, go for it. I won’t stop, ridicule, impugn, mock or criticize you. It’s just not for me.

I wear these stupid masks out of respect for others. I think they are a detriment but that’s just my opinion. I understand others feel safer with them so I wear them when I’m out. I think high risk individuals should do everything they can to protect themselves. If you’re scared you should do the same.

I could say more but what’s the point? We’re just not going to agree and that’s okay. I respect your opinion even though I don’t agree with it. Nothing personal.
