RSV vaccine

I quit going to people's homes to do infusions back when Covid started because the CDC said and my employer was thrilled to agree, that all we needed was a surgical mask. Well, that proved to be oh so wrong. The W.H.O knew from the beginning that we would need full protective gear. But this was downplayed. People thought and apparently still think that if you are vaccinated you can do whatever you want, but that's not true. A general rule of thumb which works very well, is stay away from people that are obviously sick. If you are impaired or predisposed to infections, avoid crowds and anyone that spends time around children. You can still get sick even being vaccinated, as you know. And you can still spread infection even though you have been vaccinated. IMO that is why the viruses still get us...people think they are invincible and safe to be around just because they are vaccinated.

You will love this.....two years ago I went to my local clinic to get tested for Covid when I had symptoms. They had everyone sit in the same waiting room, no separation of patients between those there for a Covid test and others, and the guy administering the nose swab for the Covid test was not even wearing a mask much less protective gear (so let's give it to everyone if I am positive?). One of the people working there even mentioned they were supposed to be wearing masks ...but they weren't.

I agree with you. Many people think that the vaccines are to stop the viral infections. That is not true. Even being vaccinated anyone can get infected but the symptoms are not as bad as if not have being vaccinated. I got 5 Covid shots and I did it to protect my husband since he is immunocompromised. Still I got Covid and my husband too. Thank God it didn’t put us in a hospital but the congestion, fatigue and cough lingered for one month. Getting vaccinated is a personal decision and I respect that. Thanks for your input. Stay healthy.
