I would not take this vaccine if you paid me! This virus is a virus. It affects the blood and its ability to carry oxygen to the body. No one in any supposed medical capacity is very educated on this so I am not taking their advice. I am building my immune system, which was created for the job of fighting off infection. Novel idea.

Two things –

1. It is good you will not take the vaccine – just leaves a dose fore someone who wants to live.

2. P.T. Barnum was noted for saying “There’s an idiot born every minute”

Exactly which minute did your birth take up?


But you do have the right to do as you see fit. Hopefully it works. Just don’t spread so much misinformation about this virus. It is deadly and has killed millions.

Believe what you want – but let knowledgeable scientific facts be the guide.

Your headline says more sites opening in SLO, but there is nothing in the article about this. I’d like to know where these new sites are so I can try to get in for a vaccination.

You might try reading the headline, the article and then my comment. Those are not “more vaccination sites,” they are the same ones we’ve had.
