I am flabbergasted by the number people who continue to claim that whether to be vaccinated against COVID-19 is somehow a matter of “personal choice.” After all the literature published, the talk shows aired, and the news stories reported, do these people still not get it? Are they being deliberately obtuse, or were they stupid from birth? It really is very simple, folks. Getting vaccinated against COVID-19 not only protects you, but also protects your friends, your family, your neighbors, and everyone else you come in contact with.
If you value your own life so little, that’s fine. Go ahead, get sick and die for all I care. But it’s your total disregard for others that is so confusing and infuriating. And I agree with letter writer Sandra Edmonson that claiming some sort of made-up religious objection is just plain hogwash (“Get vaxxed or get out of health care,” Our Readers’ Views, Nov. 19).
