Don’t be so quick to judge choices

To the recent letter writer who hopes all unvaccinated will die from COVID: I’m 69 and at high risk. For a year, I barely left the house and wore masks when out. When I tried getting a vaccine, all were booked. I wanted to get the J&J vaccine until I found out about the blood clot issue. I have a history of them. I contracted COVID, was pretty sick, but recovered at home. I now have the antibodies that you have from the vaccine.

My husband, a Vietnam vet, contracted COVID and now also has antibodies. There have been reports of healthy people experiencing severe reactions (including death) after receiving the second vaccine.

Earlier this month, Judicial Watch received 75 pages of Department of Veterans Affairs records of adverse reactions veterans had to vaccines. This included 895 serious reactions, such as: 20 cardiac arrests, 36 strokes, 15 cases of blood clots, 10 heart attacks, and 19 pulmonary embolisms. Also, 26,000 less serious reactions were reported.

This is still an experimental vaccine. I don’t hate you for your choices. Instead, I’ll pray that God softens your heart.
