I don't have a problem with vaccinations every year or 2 if necessary. That's not really the question. Vaccinations to those who want it will be done by summer even if herd immunity doesn't occur although I think it will. BS in Medical Technology and 32 years in Army Medical Corps tells me it will to some degree. Nothing is absolute. At what point do you stop letting politicians use the pandemic as a tool to restrict your personal freedoms and choices?
