it's a community within a larger community. not my personal friends, known by friends who live in the same county.
you know, all our kids are grown and gone, but we have grandbabies about 45 minutes from the anti-vax group, so i worry.
my husband and i were very good friends with a couple from church when our kids were growing up, and they didn't vax their kids. when all twelve of them (yup! 12 lol) had pertussis our friends were scrupulous about staying home till every last one was well. i dropped a meal on their porch and heard the coughing from there... have you ever? one of their sons, who was about 15 at the time of infection, told me when he grew up he thought he was going to die, and in fact wished he might have.
i didn't do the covid shot; i'm just tryna think through the implications of no vaccines at all. our friends' kids all had to be vax-ed to attend college or join the military, which they all did do one or the other.
just thinking out loud
