    I’m sorry for your loss and I’m not trying to take away from what you’ve experienced but I’m not getting the shot. I’m in no way scared of it and I don’t let the small amount of stories I’ve heard on top of the media fear mongering change my decision. I’m in no way anti vaccine, I’m more vaccinated than the average American due to the military.


    I have twins that are three. One of them caught covid when he was two. He was groggy for a day and fine after that. In that time my family quarantined with him at my house. I didn’t change a thing. I drank after him, ate with him, and held him in my arms like I used to before he turned into a mini gorilla.


    The vaccine is a personal decision and it should be left at that. If your goal is to get more people to get vaccinated then telling them to do so probably isn’t the best route. I look at the facts and from what I see it should absolutely be taken seriously but is nothing to be in a panic about or getting pissed at people who choose not too. People can do their own re search and make their own decisions which they should. It’s an individual to individual decision that should be made. So to answer your question yes I’d rather take the chance of dying from covid than getting the vaccine because for me personally I believe those chances are very slim. I see the vaccine potentially doing more harm than covid which people seem to ignore has a 98% survival rate or they just haven’t done the research.

    I took my shots in January due to many health issues and will take the 3rd shot as soon as it is available.
    Everyone should do that they feel is best for them.

    I've lost about 5 people I know to the virus and none were old and none were vaccinated.
    My neighbor is on a vent at OLOL now and has been for a couple weeks. He's about 35 and he wasn't vaccinated.
    We are praying the he makes it.

    I just heard the East Feliciana Coroner on the radio tell the dispatcher that the code orange call they had didn't make it.

    I'd rather die. I feel like I've already had covid and didn't do anything about it. I had the diahrea for a couple weeks, fever, groggy, tired, etc.... It cleared up after about 3 weeks. I figured I just had a slight flu like any other other time. May have been covid, I don't know. I just powered through it like anything else. No shot, no nothing. No shots for me buddy. Not happening

    I got both pokes as soon as I could, which was sooner than most due to my heart condition.

    I do recommend getting the shots.

    I do NOT approve of a mandate to get the shot.

    What ever happened to 'My Body, My Choice' ?



    As for masks.

    I do not require masks in my shop. I'm fully vaccinated. I'm not concerned about catching it. (although I'm not going out of my way to be around someone who might be contagious.)
    If you feel more comfortable wearing a mask in the gun shop, go ahead. I won't make you. Your choice.

    If I am on YOUR property, and you require a mask, I'll wear one, or not enter your property. That is what I refer to as 'respect'.

    Things being said such as this, by people much older/more experienced in life than myself, just solidify my stubbornness to refuse to get it. Thank you sir

    Fact: Covid can kill you.
    Fact: Covid can make you very sick and give you lasting issues
    Fact: Covid can make you mildly sick and achy
    Fact: Covid may not do anything to you
    Fact: Covid is here, it is a virus and it does not discriminate who it will infect
    Fact: Covid has a vaccine, but it is not 100%
    Fact: Covid vaccine is voluntary unless a (insert agency here) requires it.
    Fact: Covid has our emergency rooms filled with patients, some will make it some will not.

    Everything comes down to ORM (Operational Risk Management) - therefore, I took the vaccine and sleep better at night knowing I have some layer of protection. BUT, it is YOUR choice. Just don't expect me to give you sympathy if you do get it and haven't been vaccinated - that was YOUR choice.

    Maybe, but I think the government pushed polio vaccines as well as measles. The big difference is it wasn’t politicized and people just got the vaccine. I’ll repeat what I’ve said before, if Trump wins in 2020 then most people around here would be vaccinated. All it would have take was a few Trump vaccine rallies and people would have been lining up for days to get it.

    I don't know maybe some would have,but i'm not one of them and know others that feel the same as i do.They claim Trump took the vaccine in private,i suspect he did not take it.

    The chances of having issues with the vaccine are way less than having issues with Covid.

    Your risk analysis is incorrect.

    I'd like to think so, but didn't Trump get booed when he told a crowd in Alabama they should get the shot?

    I got the shots (Moderna) as soon as they were available.
    The idea of drowning in my own body fluids does not appeal to me.
    I respect everyone's right to make that decision. Good luck!
