These days you’re an “anti-vaxxer” if you have not been vaccinated and you’re a “mad-vaxxer” for wanting everyone vaccinated. But survivors of COVID now know they have robust, and perhaps, even better immunization to COVID than those vaccinated. There are also those who have health conditions causing them to pause before vaccinating. Neither group of people are against vaccinations, but they also aren’t getting the jab just because [Gov. J.B.] Pritzker is dictating it. These are the “rational-vaxxers.”
Rational-vaxxers agree that seniors and people with compromising health conditions should get vaccinated. But the rest of us must consider the adverse effects of the vaccines. There is much information available on both sides—some true, but much skewed in support of someone’s agenda. The rational-vaxxer is not just listening to the news or reading headlines—they are considering the credible studies and talking to health care professionals to make the best decision based on informed consent, before choosing vaccination.
