My personal opinion is there is no reason for anyone under the age of 65 to get vaccinated unless at high risk. Which is what should have happened.
my personal opinion is that there is no reasonable doubt that anyone over the age of 30 ought to get at least one immunization. There are four other common coronaviruses that we have all had in the past that just give us colds. But this is a NOVEL coronavirus, recently jumped:
a. From a lab in Wuhan China
b. From a bat in Laos that flew to Wuhan China (distance 1700 miles) in one night
(take your pick)
and unless you are thirty or younger you probably don’t want your first exposure to COVID antigens to be the live virus itself because first exposures to NOVEL viruses tend to not go well.
But having said that since you are an adult, I’d no more force you to take an immunization than I’d force a Jehovah’s Witness to take a blood transfusion. And since your kids are at negligible risk, no problem there either.
