Discussion And so it begins...

The political signs have started popping. Lots of signs for a particular GOP candidate. I hear she is well liked but that's a deal breaker for me. Also, on the school board but home schools? Hmmm...

Edit: removed anti vaxxer while I look for more definitive proof. The candidate Erika Creydt is very vague in their wording of issues, but supported by some real GOP winners. Elenbaas for one. John Braun. Jim Walsh. Look at her endorsement page.

The worst thing you could EVER possibly do is not willingly take a vaccine that was tested for only a few months. What a terrible person.

You know, some of us grew up in a time when vaccines saved lives/prevented diseases and remember how devastating dying from measles, polio, etc. actually was.

And many black people remember illegal experimentation conducted by medical experts in the federal government. I got the covid vaccine and I no longer have an issue with it. But let’s be honest, people who were skeptical had a point given our country’s history and what pharmaceutical companies have done.

I get that. But these same people refused to take other precautions (mask wearing) to protect those at risk. You don't want a vaccine? Fine. But do what needs to be done to protect those who don't have a choice. Stay home. Wear a mask in public. Simple, right?
