What's this?

Downvote ...

I am vaccinated but I completely respect those who have made medical or personal decisions not to. Shaming and judging a personal, medical decision is dead wrong IMHO. I don't agree with those who are resisting simply for political reasons but, despite the media narrative, that isn't a large number. The two largest groups of unvaccinated people are cultural, not political. There are also a lot of people who aren't getting it because they have already had COVID and don't really need it. I personally know of several people who didn't get vaccinated because their doctor told them they shouldn't due to their medical situations. It is a personal choice. Off my soapbox.
