Being a senior citizen with several of the factors that put me in what the .gov had classified as the "high risk" population for COVID-19, I was convinced that if I got it I was going to die. To the extent that I didn't leave the house for three months -- a younger friend did my grocery shopping for me. He left the bags in the garage, I collected the bags after my friend had departed, and I wiped each package or bottle with Chlorox wipes before putting them away. So when the vaccine first came out, I succumbed to the pressure and dutifully went to the VA hospital for the two jabs. My VA hospital gave the Pfizer version. The other VA hospital in the state was administering one of the other varieties (Moderna, IIRC).
Not long after having gotten my shots I started reading about healthy, world-class athletes dropping dead soon after having been vaccinated. And then reading about people getting COVID even after having been vaccinated. So I decided not to get any of the follow-up shots, and I regret having allowed myself to be brainwashed by Fauci and the CDC in the first place.
Since having been vaccinated, I have had one verified bout of COVID-19, and another, similar (but longer) episode that the VA insists wasn't COVID but which looked and felt exactly like the preceding episode of COVID. The whole thing further eroded my already low level of trust in anything the .gov says about my health.
