Re: “Do ya think there is anyone in the drug store who will be able to help you if you have a reaction?”
Didn't you say that you intended to get the vaccine?

I haven't had a vaccination in more than 15 years. At some point, I decided that a flu is not going to kill me when I'm relatively young and that the flu is probably worth contracting every now and then - if only to bolster my immune system. As it happens, I never caught another flu, so not being immunized made no difference.

But I'm leaning toward getting the Covid-19 vaccine ONE DAY. The reason is that I know the virus isn't going to die out and that at my current no-longer-so-young age, catching Covid might just bring about a premature conclusion to my story. Many animals, including mice, can carry and spread it. The virus is not going to go away. I'd really rather not have my lungs clot up because an infected mouse got into my room and shared its air with me, so I'll get immunized - but well down the road. When it's pretty clear what the side effects of the vaccine are and whether the vaccine even works. No, I don't have any faith that the current one does... 'specially against the new strains that have been popping up. I'll get the vaccine in a few years, once my concerns about the vaccine are put to rest or at least reduced.

My circumstances aren't yours. You've got a year or two on me and, being a loveable bloke, you probably aren't as isolated. You could have legitimate reasons for letting them inject you with God-Knows-What in the near future. Let us know how it goes, okay? If you can...
