Richard, you sound really down. I got my first COVID vaccination just a couple of hours ago.
The vaccination is not just for each individual and his or her protection, it's also for society. The way an epidemic is stopped is to reduce the number of individuals that can get and spread the virus. We all need to protect our family members and friends and then the people we don't even know. The health care workers, first responders, grocery store workers, delivery people have all put their lives at risk to protect the rest of us.
Daily they have gone to work knowing that they could be exposed to this disease.
I feel it is my duty to give back to them, to protect them and our kids. A loving attitude needs to extend to all people.
