How about we get away from this statistic thing, since people are getting offended? A question we could ask is what percentage of people who are old and get COVID die from it? We know most younger people don't. Yes, we all need to make our own decisions.

I think my parents (who have been long dead) would get the shots. And as I say, I've had the first one and plan on getting the second. I am old and fat, which make my chances of dying from COVID higher. My doctor sure doesn't want me to take any chances about getting it--and her expertise is in treating older patients. And Dr. Fauci took it--and the current and former PREZ and FLOTUS.

My son, who is in his late twenties, had COVID and he said he wouldn't wish it on anyone--although he didn't die or have to be hospitalized. And there can be long term effects from getting COVID even if people don't die. That helps me to want to get the vaccine, too.

No, nobody needs to argue that my reasons are unreasonable.
