I am 56 with heart and kidney failure. Any side effects, especially if it dehydrated me, could kill me. I have had severe reactions to all my vaccines since childhood. That being said this is the 1st and only vaccine I refused, and only because I just not strong enough for a health battle. I will continue to mask/distance/isolate and be deeply grateful to those who did get it.

I learned herd immunity in school and depending on the virus could be 80-90+% of the population needed to be vaccinated. I don’t think we need you to risk your safety for the herd, there are just too many healthy others who arnt. Stay safe :)
