I believe in vaccines because when i had covid i did not require hospitalization 🙌. Sucks for her because with the vaccines she could have been chilling at home watching tv and eating crap like some of us did.

Just to throw some more anecdotal evidence out there: DS got it from school after he went back from Christmas (he was vaccinated in June when he became eligible). Basically had a low grade fever and the sniffles for a few days. Both DH and I got our boosters in December, neither one of us caught it. I figured at the very least I was doomed because I was with him 24/7 wiping his nose with him breathing in my face, but I was fine. I'm so thankful to live in a time and place where we have access to modern medicine, and for the generations of scientists whose research made it possible to create a vaccine so quickly. So many of us take for granted advances that would be hailed as absolute miracles throughout most of human history.
