    Both my parents didn’t want the vaccine because they were scared of side effects. Both of them have multiple chronic diseases . My dad lungs are basically dead from chaine smoking for 50+ years. They miraculously survived getting coronavirus twice…

      Getting it twice and making it probably just proved to them that the whole vaccine thing was stupid and not required, right?

        Yup. I had a few people say “It’s no big deal, I had it and it was just a bad cold! It’s totally been blown out of proportion by the media!”

        I also went to a funeral for someone who got it at church.

        No. Thankfully, my parents aren’t anti-vaxers just watched too much of Facebook ‘doctors’. Real doctors that were spewing garbage online to get views and ‘get famous’ as said by someone that was arrested by the police.

        He did have a very difficult childhood and he was so addicted he basically constantly smoked and i mean almost every second of his waking life . If you think cigarettes aren’t that addictive think again. He had like 4 to 5 packs (20 cigarettes each ) daily.
