As someone who has been through a similar life threatening illness with respiratory failure, and I was actually sicker than my son's fil, I have no idea why anyone would turn down a vaccine or a booster if offered. He may lose his job, his house, and he is not out of the wood yet as far as his life goes, either.
Their insanity continues; everything is the fault of the doctors, who "refused to treat them" and the hospital, who "kicked him out and sent him home," even though they said the hospital was doing nothing for them and asked to bring him home. They continue to put others at risk.
My husband was in the evil pharma out to make endless profit camp, and was not going to get a booster. I told him he owed it to his granddaughter, and someone had to model good behavior, and take whatever risk there might be in the booster so that she did not get exposed to the virus again, as she is too little to get the vaccine.
I don't know, I am out of patience with people saying, oh, people are too fearful--I tried to get info on omicron and the only thing I could find not behind a paywall was Fox, and they were telling people, "oh this is all about fear," and I think that is part of the problem, as my son's in-laws spent months telling us they weren't afraid, it was all exaggerated, if they got it it would be no worse than the flu, etc.
No one in the US has died from omicron. Seven people have died of it in the UK. It is not like Alpha or Delta.

And people do die from the flu even when vaccinated. It is a complex process to decide on what "varieties" to include in each yearly shot. I have asthma and can easily be thrown into an attack. The doctor has given me the "people die from asthma" lecture and I am trained to know when to seek emergency room help. Have only needed it once. I get all the shots I can as soon as possible.
I no longer respond to people who promote, regurgitate or amplify gross Covid misinformation.

Jep, I think that Kennedy book is getting to you
Long before I read the Kennedy book I agreed with the World Health Organization that Americans who are not in high risk categories should not be getting boosted.Jep, I think that Kennedy book is getting to you
I'm hardly a Pharma booster, and I recognize that when money comes in the door, objectivity is one of its first casualties, but I'm not willing to play Russian roulette with whatever life I have left.
