Editor’s Note: We thank Lisa Timm who sent this poster that she created with us. Lisa was inspired by a church group discussion on “gifts and talents.” She is a microbiologist/immunologist who lives in Fernandina Beach.
Click on the poster below to view an interesting NPR story about a decision made by French President Macron that inspired a number of French to get the COVID vaccinine.
Let me start by saying I am vaccinated. There is a serious question regarding whether vaccinations should be mandatory. The article references French President Macron addressing vaccine resistance. There is a higher percentage of vaccine resistors in France than in the USA. Surprisingly, in France (where I am currently, in case you were wondering what my references were) there is no political skew. Even the Communists have 40% resistance. Only in the US has vaccination become politicized.
So before anyone uses antiVax as a political lance, remember the French. There is good reason why forced vaccination (or coerced, more likely) is not a good idea. Take the vaccine to protect yourself, but please do not arrogantly believe that shoukd be everyone’s choice.

It appears the message on the poster went right over your head. If I’m less protected because of other people’s choice to remain unvaccinated, then color me arrogant if I protest their choice.
