What are unvaccinated people thinking?

I'm type A. All the more reason to be glad I had the good sense to get vaccinated as early as possible!

I have finally received my second dose of AZ (3 months apart) and I would have lined up no matter what blood group I happened to be. I'm also type A (+). As a 70+ senior I was priority B1, after people more at risk like front line medics and people in nursing homes. My grandchildren are now eligible for vaccination but one has autoimmune issues. To lower her risk of Covid she has to isolate at home until the vaccination levels are close to 80%. Currently we are only at 50% either fully or partially immunised. She will be a shut in until at least Christmas at the rate the vax program is rolling out here. :cry:

In US you have no idea just how fortunate you are. Send your unwanted vaccines to places like Fiji or PNG. They are desperate for vaccines and the needles needed to deliver it into arms.
 

a lot of very smart medical professionals believe that the vaccine,masks and social distancing are the only current ways to combat the virus and it's variants and this is mostly supported by statistics.this may change someday but we are dealing with now.if after careful consideration one thinks differently that is their right but it doesn.t mean it's a correct choice.the correct choice may not be known for years.

It will be years before all the evidence surrounding this virus, and the effectiveness/long term effects of the vaccines are known. That is Years that we May Not have. The choice then boils down to either believing what is currently known by the professionals who study these things, or taking a chance and waiting for years....in which case, this virus could do a pretty good job of "population control".

Personally, since we are Not medical/scientific experts, we chose to get the Moderna vaccines earlier this year, and we are doing fine.

It is great that you guys are doing fine...others are not. My hubby is making another dr appt. tomorrow. One size does not fit all. Just like all medications are not for everyone.
 
May I just say, I understand some people for health reasons may be advised not to get the vaccine, that is fine. Some people may not want to get the vaccine for other reasons which makes no sense to me, that's fine too.

Whatever the reason it makes no sense to downplay the importance of how crucial these vaccines are to coping with this pandemic. The science is sound, the advice is timely and the only way to get through it is to co-operate.

How can it make sense to you if you don't know the reason? My hubby is fully vaccinated and 4 months after he is losing weight. He will be making another dr appt tomorrow. Everyone does what is best for them but one size does not fit all. There are soooo many people that did not do well with the vaccine but we don't hear of them on the local news, etc.

I do hope they find the reason your husband is losing weight Ladybj. Will you tell us the outcome :)
 
Perhaps they're thinking their state National Guard does not have enough to do.

Idaho is calling out the National Guard to assist state hospitals overwhelmed by the influx of Covid sufferers. Idaho has a full vaccination rate of only 39%, far too low to mount a strong barrier against the spread of the Delta variant. Less than half have received even one dose.

However, Little said Tuesday that “nearly all Idaho hospitals are overwhelmed with unvaccinated COVID-19 patients,” adding that only four adult ICU beds were currently available in the entire state.

The army has been out and about in Sydney. They are not carrying weapons because their role is simply to assist the police who are visiting homes to make sure that people under orders to stay home are actually doing that and they are helping with traffic control at mass testing and mass vaccination sites. Some army doctors and nurses are helping with the vaccinations. They are assisting, not running the show.

The most disconcerting thing has been the police helicopters overhead. It has scared the daylights out some of our migrant/refugee people who have been traumatised in foreign war zones but the community leaders have been great at getting out the message that there is nothing sinister going on.

We are looking at a further 6 weeks at the minimum before the lockdown is eased, let alone lifted entirely.
 
the posters who holler about the vaccinated and their position love to make invalid comparison between covid 19 and diseases we have controlled through public health measures ;including vaccines and also comparing a new, potentially deadly disease,with non-medical daily life.
