¿Question #219634?
0Shea0: My uncle died from covid today. If you are not vaccinated, could you think long and hard about whether it is worth it? The frustration for me is that, around here, it's the churches spreading covid and killing the weak, people who claim to emulate a savior who died so others might live are so scared to contribute good into the world and actually be Christlike. Save the weak! It is sad, and I am angry. My uncle died alone instead of with his family because people can't be bothered to do what it takes to protect others or they think that they are going to out-doctor the doctors with their online research. When I was a roofer for 5 years I came up with a saying, "Never roof your own house." I was constantly fixing people's houses that they and a friend with tools did over a weekend. "We can do it" they think, "we will read the instructions" "we watched some videos" "We can do just as good a job as them! I'm a really good hands on person. Heck, I know how to frame houses, even" And then they do 10s of thousands of dollars of water damage to their house because they shorted one single valley shingle and have to pay for a whole new 20,000 dollar roof only 5 years later. Ask my father-in-law, I got to reroof his roof only 4 years after he put it on (he also fell off and dislocated his shoulder) Never roof your own house. Hire a roofer. So on that note, you're not a doctor. And not every doctor specializes in viruses, but 96% of doctors are vaccinated. Go to a doctor and ask them about getting vaccinated if you aren't. For those of you who are masking and vaccinating thank you so much, I feel your love.

ricardofo: Sorry to hear that. I also lost three friends to covid.
Randy%20Cox: Sorry to hear that. I am happy that our president is trying to mandate vaccines for companies employing more than 100 people. Now, finally, maybe we will start to turn the tide and at least act as though we care about our fellow humans. Update: the day before I originally answered this message, my vaccinated uncle went into the hospital with COVID. They gave him monoclonal therapy and figured he'd be in and out in a few days. But the drugs never kicked in and he died, yet another unnecessary tragedy that could have been averted with mandatory masking, distancing, and when they became available, vaccination. It's really sad.

TomTi89: Sorry to hear that, Shea. My family and friends are vaccinated and masking. This town is good for that too, though I recently went to the beach and it was like I went back in time to before the pandemic.
Jedadeana: That's horrible, I'm so sorry
pwilz: Sorry to hear that. My family has been vaccinated, and I did not attempt to put on my last roof either.
Ruesailmana: All the distant hugs! I hope the third jab will become an option here as well. Here almost everyone close to me is vaccinated.
pricero1: We're all double-jabbed masked superheroes.
freechinanow: That sucks majorly. We're going back to work soon and the word is going around that 2 teachers at my school refuse to get the vaccine. My friend was surprised that I believe it should be mandatory because as teachers I feel we have an moral obligation to accept science and statistics. Our school has sent out about three revised vacciation policies, finally the last one stating that by October 15th you're not allowed in the building if you're not fully vaccinated. We just want this to be over and get back to some sense of normalcy. I appreciate the people who are wearing the badges that say "I have a healthy distrust of the government and I'm fully vaccinated." It's okay to question. But once you get _real_ answers, it's not okay to ignore them.
sparkous: Sorry for your family.
mr3d: Really sorry to hear that; I fully agree with all you said there.
magikaru: It really makes no sense that this thing has become politicized and polarized. Vaccines and masks save lives. Period.
rayzg: My condolences. I got vaccinated as early as possible and still mask (as it's still mandatory here in indoor places).
D00MSTALKER: Very sorry to hear. I mask & am vaccinated.
Woelf: Sorry to hear. :( I'm hoping to get my third shot as soon as it's allowed.
oriecat: I'm so sorry, Shea. :( Big fully vaccinated hugs.
