They can say that as much as they want, but it's really all about politics. They don't want to get the shot because the Democrats want them to. And now some of them are turning against Trump because he's started encouraging them to get vaccinated. To them, he's saying that all of their suffering and death was needless, and they can't accept that. So they continue to risk serious illness and death so they can own the libs. And they're willing to bring down their families and friends with them.
