I know everything surrounding how we handle this pandemic has been hard on all of us, and quite divisive at times, but hang in there for just a bit longer! Let me encourage you to seek out an opportunity to get your vaccine shot, and keep wearing those masks in public. Yes, there are questions and concerns surrounding the vaccine, but the evidence is quickly mounting that it is safe, and by far the most effective way to prevent the spread and keep vulnerable people from getting dangerously sick.
The sooner 70-80% of the population gets vaccinated, the sooner ALL of us will feel safe gathering for the events and celebrations that we miss so much. Even if you have concerns, make sure you weigh the concerns of those around you as well. It’s part of loving your neighbor!
