[QUOTE="Tanis143, post: 3649141, member: 43724"] The reason I won't get the vaccine is simple, but complex. In the past 20 years I've gotten the flu 3 times, two of which I got the flu shot and ended up with the other variant. The third, well that involved going to a house full of flu patients and having their dog nip me on my hand, causing an open wound. I felt the flu hit me before I finished work. My feelings on it is the covid shot (which, just like the flu shot, is not a vaccine, but rather an immunity booster towards a specific variant) will do the same to me as the flu shot, protect me against that variant but make me more susceptible to the other variant. I work in customer's homes day in and day out. Before this I never wore a mask, didn't wear gloves and only washed my hands before lunch and when I got home from work. That's 16 years of being around flu, cold, strep, etc that people do not disclose before I come out. I got the flu shot my 3rd year in the field due to my BiL having health issues and ended up with the flu (first time I was working in the call center and got the flu shot, ended up with the flu anyway). My personal belief is that I am around so many viruses, bacteria, etc that my immune system works a lot differently than people who are not in this field or similar. Since I am the primary source of income I will not risk getting laid up for a few weeks because I got the shot and ended up with the delta variant or that it did something to my natural immune system and made me more susceptible to the virus. I'm not saying no just to say no, I have my reasoning behind it, be it that it may be flawed. While working I do wear a mask in customer's homes, have used gloves when they ask me to, and have been using hand sanitizer before getting into my van and going to my next customer. [/QUOTE]
