Some Republican states and misguided people in other states believe natural immunity instead of vaccines and masks are the answer to ending the virus. For most diseases getting it once and surviving means the victim is protected from getting it again. Covid 19 is not one of those diseases.

            Half of my nieces and nephews and their children and grandchildren are not vaccinated. Some have had it and have since been vaccinated having learned their lesson. One great grand daughter and husband figured they were protected so they didn’t get shots. Their first episode was like a bad flu. Their second was a very bad flu with long haul symptoms. They still haven’t gotten the shots because of some lies they read on the internet. All of those who are not vaccinated believe those lies and have chosen to not get their shots risking another more serious infection and serious long haul complications.

            Republican governors who tell their people to depend on natural immunity instead of mandating shots should remember – dead believers can’t vote for you. Using your people to do another Big Lie means you don’t care about them.
