Unvaccinated Wouldn't Even Listen to Their Doctor

A new CBS News/YouGov poll of those Americans who are not vaccinated finds 74% of them would not get vaccinated even if their doctor recommended it, while another 16% said their doctor already has suggested it.

Just 10% would get vaccinated if their doctor recommended it.

We are NOT getting out of this pandemic by either vaccinations or wearing masks. This pandemic is going to remain a pandemic in America, and as a result, the World, for years and decades to come.

The Bullshit known as FREEDUMB is our weakness. By this point, it's evident to me, that unlike Covid, it is an incurable disease. No amount of explaining and pleading by President Biden, Dr. Fauci, or ANY of the other experts, is going to change that.

The only protection we have......FOR THE TIME BEING......are the vaccines available, and masks. I have done my part. All I can do now is hope for the best. At some point I'm not going to wear my mask Every time I go out. I don't find it fair that I have to, thanks to the Assholes out there who won't get the shot(s).

Simply add Covid to one of the things that may kill me without warning. Plenty of things could claim my life in the next couple of weeks, and eventually, Covid will be another one of them. Because inevitably, a variant will come along, that the vaccines are far less effective against, and then they'll be rendered far less useful if not completely useless.

Many people don’t take their doctors advice on many health issues. The thing is some doctors want to recommend these days, and gently suggest so as not to make their patients mad.

I recommend that they find medical care somewhere else...
