Summer and seasonal considerations are working along with vaccinations to lower the new cases down to a manageable amount. Vaccinations are central to the health authorities program to leaving restrictions in September. The key to the thinking is that when enough people are vaccinated to keep the systems going then restrictions will come off. This will leave a minority of people that could suffer at a rate the same or greater then when the whole population was at risk. These can be a awful personal tragic suffering with remorse and guilt that will be harsh when realising vaccination was within easy reach.
Yes some may have A symptomatic reactions and be strong enough to live through this disease but some will be a big burden on those close to them. Neglecting vaccination could be considered as selfish. We recommend that you shallow your pride and get the shot.
