Please Get Vaccinated

Some of my Facial Coverings
Elkridge, MD

I do not enjoy wearing facial coverings in public places--like airplanes and stores, despite the fact that I have some of the most creative masks out there thanks to some great friends and former neighbors.

I do not enjoy lockdowns for public safety. 

The Delta COVID-19 variant is virulent. It reportedly is a threat to the over 50 percent of Americans who are not fully vaccinated. 

I have been enjoying the freedoms that living in a mostly vaccinated society provide. I even went to a concert the other evening and did not feel uneasy being around multitudes of other people who were not wearing facial coverings. 

Already the CDC is beginning to recommend that all people (vaccinated or not) wearing facial coverings to defend against the Delta variant because not enough Americans are vaccinated.

I believe the statistics are fairly obvious--the risk of getting COVID-19 AND suffering long term problems and possibly dying from it are far greater that any of the risks associated with getting vaccinated.

My conclusion--Get Vaccinated!

As an aside, I cannot answer the question that was retold to me the other day: "Why is the government making only people who are unvaccinated get COVID-19?"
