My parents are 69 and got the first dose even after I tried explaining things to them. They know nothing about this shot, that it’s not really a vaccine, Provides no immunity, that this type of shot has never been tested long term. All they care about is being able to get on a plane and travel with less restrictions which probably won’t even be the case.
I went for a physical and my doctor said it was a good choice that I wasn’t getting the shot. He also slyly said “you didn’t hear that from me”. I could tell he’s strongly against it but reticent to discuss his feelings on fears it would damage his practice.
My 68yo father with alzhiemers is obsessed with getting his shot in the next 2 weeks.
I swear my mother is letting him do it in case it ends his miserable quality of life.
They used to call the flu an old man's best friend. I am having trouble convincing them he has a hi risk of dying.
But, maybe my daughter will wake up
