i believe that is the OP's stance.You can also be overweight and diabetic and have mild symptoms. Saying "it will kill you" is inaccurate statement by the doctor also.

In some cases yes. In others no. I have family and friends previously opposed or ambivalent who are getting vaccines now (today in fact for one) because of what is going on. Don’t give up on your loved ones.This is a sad story. But at this point in our nation, anyone that wants the vaccine already has it. Cases where people on their dead bed regret not getting their shots and want to be a cautionary tale for others won't get their wish because it will fall on deaf ears.
I'm 100% certain if my wife's best friend (who spouts all the anti-vax BS to her, I ####### hate her), ends up hospitalized or dead due to covid, my wife will run out and get the vaccine the next day. I'm not rooting for this to happen though, .This is a sad story. But at this point in our nation, anyone that wants the vaccine already has it.

To clarify, that was a hypothetical statement that I made up. The point was that my late FIL would have been blunt with his high-risk patients. Don't get too caught up in the specific language.You can also be overweight and diabetic and have mild symptoms. Saying "it will kill you" is inaccurate statement by the doctor also.
Excellent PointExcept that a virus doesn't give a rat's fuzzy posterior about any of that. You could be in Olympic competitive condition and still die, just like a bunch of other, previously healthy, people.
-This drills down to the nerve or problem and makes me think of Sylvia Sydney's terrific line in Beetlejuice, "Never Trust the Living". People think they are the epitome of healthy when in fact many of these folks are not. You can be skinny and still not very healthy, its not all weight and exercise.Yep. But that lets a bunch of folks pretend they get a free pass.

The % numbers have to be put in context. Sometimes they report % of eligible people vaccinated. Sometimes they report % of total people vaccinated. The second number is much lower than the first one because children under 12 can't be vaccinated yet. 70% eligible vaccinated but 50% total vaccinated would make sense.The worst thing they did on these news networks was showing pictures of Sen Graham-SC getting vaccinated and then coming out and saying he was Covid-Positive, that really slowed the train down IMHO...
I thought we had 70% vaccinated and then i started peeling thru some recent numbers and it looks like only 50% of Florida is vaccinated and that's with the vast majority of Seniors taking the vaccine and I bet plenty on the 55+ crowd so I simply ask is it like 15% that are in the 25-34 crowd that have gotten vaccinated, how about 45-55...is that like 33%? Something has to balance out all the Seniors who took the vaccine. Why is Florida on Delta Fire right now?
You are correct but what does that do to entice healthy folks to go get a shot of something that they likely can ward off naturally? Legit question since rogue stories run by the media showing a healthy person here and there getting sick doesn't seem to be sinking in for a lot of folks. This goes back to @Mrs. Rannous was posting about the "free pass" and that is a very important piece of the puzzle that has to be worked out or folks need to come clean and get honest about the nature of a good chunk of humans...laziness and you give em an inch they will take a mile. Example "Vaccinated folks are welcome" and the dishonest man/woman says "I'm vaccinated" and of course that is a lie but they don't see it that way because they believe they are not doing anything wrong and that's really the underlying rub that folks don't want to really address.I will only add that the majority of hospitalized Covid patients are overweight and diabetic.
The vaccine is still very important, even after having Covid. Every bit helps.All 3 of them want to get vaccinated even though I would assume once you have it/had it that the actual vaccine is less important but whatever works at this point I guess is positive.

I'm glad for you and your son.
