[Lekooks] Why I mask & vaccinate

[Fran B.]

I hope no one interpreted my messages regarding a second booster as disrespectful.  That was certainly not my intent.

Did the four people who got COVID get severe cases? The vaccine is intended to prevent severe cases, which it’s doing pretty well at. I know not perfectly, though the death rates have gone down significantly.



But it’s a risk/benefit assessment for individuals. I respect your decision, especially if you are in a higher risk category. I have not restricted my activity, except as mandated, throughout the entire pandemic, and I would also like for that decision to be respected. I am vaccinated, but I only mask if required.



Thank you all for hearing an alternative viewpoint. Betsy

I believe as mentioned earlier by somebody else in another post that it's safer now and less dangerous.



 however I went to the library the other day and even though I was masked there was somebody sneezing and sniffling near me and that caused me 3 days of panic who knows?



If you're still reading this is the important part a friend of mine who lives on the east coast in a much more cautious Town than I'm experiencing who has been extremely cautious decided to have a gathering with her family to celebrate and engagement



1--they all tested negative for covid on the home tests

2--their son took a test in a doctor's office because he did have a sore throat and runny nose and headache....

3--because everyone tested negative on the home test they went ahead with the gathering even though their son's result wasn't in

4--their son's results came in and he was positive so they immediately went into isolation but it was too late because four of the six people got covid



As far as I can tell I'm not trying too much the y are experiencing milder cases because they were vaccinated, but I really don't want to take the risk because I'm in a higher immunocompromised situation...



I respect the choices that other people make I hope they respect mine when I don't hang out in large groups



Although I visited Brynn and her goats...

.... But I think the goats were pretty safe





Again thank you Fran because I was wondering when it was going to come up and yippee today...
