E287: Why Can’t We Talk About This?

E287 Introduction

I was having a conversation with a woman the other day, someone I didn‘t know all that well and the topic of Covid vaccines came up. She brought it up, not me. She asked me what I thought and I sort of chuckled. “What do you want to know?”

Well, she said first do you mind if I ask you if you got any of them. I said I don’t mind the question at all and no, I did not take any of the Covid jabs nor did my wife and son. She went on the say that she knows a lot of people having issues, herself included and she is thinking that it might have something to do with the vaccines. I just listened.

Until she said this, she said “I don’t think we’ll know for years who made the right choice, the vaccinated or the unvaccinated.” I stopped here there. I said no, I agree that each person has to choose for themselves. But I told her something that I have said on this show a couple of times and it illustrates that we don’t need to wait to find out “made the right choice.”

I told her I know lots of people in both camps: the unvaccinated and the vaccinated. Of the unvaccinated I don’t know a SINGLE person who regrets not getting them. In fact, the overall sentiment is one of gratitude for not taking them. As in Thank You God for telling me not to get it, sort of thing.

And I told her that of the vaccinated, I simply know LOTS who, given the choice again WOULD NOT take the vaccine. Lots in that group that have regrets. Not everyone, but many. Lots of

Was I too harsh with her? I hope not. I just wanted her to know how the unvaccinated think about this. We are not waiting a few more years to assess whether we made the right choice. Are you following me?
