MY SAY: TO VAX OR NOT TO VAX?
Now there is a question that has occasioned a furious debate.
First, there are too many invidious Holocaust metaphors. Dr. Fauci, for all his undebatable flaws is not a Nazi, lock-downs are not concentration camps, masks are not yellow badges, and the jabs are not poisonous gas as some overwrought opponents have posted.
Other opponents, respected friends among them, cite statistics that are fatuous at best. The average daily death rates in America range between 7500 to 8500 per day. To attribute thousands of deaths to vaccinations in seniors with complications from adult-onset illness is needless scare mongering.
During the HIV epidemic many epidemiologists dismissed vaccines and focused the research on therapeutics which proved very effective. We should have done the same, but the media and too many politicized health professionals detoured all the legitimate research and statistical evidence of the efficacy of many drugs.
I respect skepticism about a new modality in vaccinations that were developed at Mach speed. Weighing the risks, I took the recommended doses of vaccine. The cases and mortality subsided. Whether it was herd immunity, natural immunity, or the vaccines, is something we will never know.
Histrionics and conspiracy caterwauling only muddy the waters and, alas, there is no real science to follow. rsk
