Why so much skepticism? Think about all of the negative things you’ve heard about the vaccines:

– They aren’t 100% effective.
– Vaccinated people may be contagious.
– The virus variants may make everything worse.
– Don’t change your behavior even if you get a shot.

The messaging by our terrible, compromised media has been appallingly bad, and the anti-vax nutters have not helped either. The reality is that all the vaccines available in the US are remarkably effective and safe. Everyone should get one as soon as possible. If not, there should be no public life for you.
