... some of them in the ICU.

Not sure if that experience changed his mind.

That was before the vaccines were generally available so maybe he did change his mind, but I'm afraid to ask.

The last thing I want to hear is how God saved him. I've already heard that about other bad experiences in his life.

My own guardian angel could tell you some stories about me, especially about falling off of cliffs into the ocean, driving motorcycles in the night at 120 mph across the desert, jumping out of moving cars, or mouthing off to very bad people holding guns or knives... I have scars.

I did get the vaccine just as soon as I could.

I don't like giving my guardian angel any further opportunities to see me suffer.

He seems to think those are "teaching moments."
