My mom is coming to visit. She just casually say, "I better get the vaccine before I travel." Believe me pedes, I'm trying to convince her but her generation cannot fathom the government being part of a plot as we have.

Then my cousin, who would die for Trump, posts his vaccine card and a sticker on Instagram. I admit, I forgot to talk to him, but I was sure he'd be with me on this bullshit. So many people think it's a courageous, necessary act of heroism to get this mRNA recombination machine. It's truly dark outside. :(

If your mom is over 65 it honestly is probably a good idea to get vaccinated. Trump wouldn’t have endorsed the vaccines if they weren’t reasonably safe.

But taking the vaccine is still a much bigger risk than risking getting covid for most people under age 65 or so that aren’t obese. That’s why everyone should have the choice to take it or not.

This is the correct answer. Vaccines make sense for SOME people. For the vast majority of younger people, you're better off just getting covid. Literally a 1 in a million chance of dying from covid in a given year if you are under 30 and fit (look at the military stats for confirmation).
