Guess I am what is called an anti-vaxxer. Due to some past medical issues my doctor recommended I should not take the shot, but it was to be my decision. After further research I decided to take my chances and avoid the vaccine. So, I will have to mask up anytime I am in the general public. That is a sore issue with me. I have heard it said: If a pair of hairy a$$ cheeks, Hanes underwear, and Wrangler jeans can't stop a fart, then how is a mask going to hold back this virus?
Hope I didn't overstep any rules with this post, old-age frustration is beginning to set-in.
...I wouldn't label you as an anti vaxxer ....I'm pretty sure that if your medical condition was normal with no under lying issues and your Dr. was o.k with it that you would err on the side of your safety and caution and get the vaccination.....its obvious that you can think for yourself and act accordingly. My wife Amy's daughter has the same issue....advised not to get the shot(s) by her Dr. due to an under lying health issue.
The anti vaxxers ,in my opinion, are politically motivated and no matter what virus or influenza may be lurking out there , they are not going to vaccinate their children or them selves and want you to fallow suite and do the same thing.
As far as mask goes, your point about holding back the virus is hilarious.....mines a little more refined:
If you walk into a restaurant with a mask on and smell the aroma of food being prepared, then the mask isn't going to work....period.....besides you have to wear a mask to enter the restaurant, yet when you are seated you remove it while you dine
I was in some of the hottest of the hot spots here in the mid west during Covid....Kansas City metro, Omaha and Lincoln Neb., Des Moines Ia. , Wichita, Ks. with work...wore a bandanna double folded over faithfully and that cut down on being able to actually smell things like I could with a simple cloth or paper mask.....heck even my Kansas City Royals neck gaiter works better than a mask since its made of a thicker material and forms to the contour of my face with no gaps.
