We need folks to just hear the science and the. facts and please realize that getting covid vaccinated is not only to protect you but also to protect the community from this horrid virus called covid-19 that can spread through the air we breath from person to person.. That is what it is about. Refusing the. covid vaccines in the presence. of trained medical providers with a “crash cart” available is a bad decision for you and the community! Get vaccinated NOW!
