I just listened to Rachel Maddow explaining how when there is an outbreak anywhere, it's soon everywhere - including other continents (let alone other states!) - unless everyone has access to the vaccine! And those who inexplicably refuse the vaccine put not just their loved ones and their communities in danger - but the rest of us, too!

He thinks he's doing the right thing by listening to his nurse/daughter - who works in a hospital where there are Covid cases - but she's refusing to get vaccinated!

That's awful! I can appreciate him deferring to her presumed medical expertise, but not about this vax issue!

Hopefully her employer will require vaccines!

I have 2 friends who also work at that hospital and they were the first people I knew who got vaccinated. As front line workers, the Pfizer was offered to them in January - though they had to drive downstate to a major hospital to get it - which they both did.

And, given his age, I was concerned - though I was so excited when I finally got vaccinated (March), I told pretty much everybody!
