I’m sitting having lunch with my unvaccinated friend at the Costco fine dining outdoor cafe as we discuss the topic that has been on the top of the news for well over a year.
We are enjoying our $1.50-1/4 lb. plus hot dogs with refillable soft drinks as she tells me
that after I receive my booster shot she cannot be near me for two weeks because it's her understanding I am contagious with the virus, also I will die because of the booster? Ironically I have been tolerating her unvaccinated status the last year, go figure?

To add insult to injury as we are indulging in our weiner-fest she tells me the reason
she won’t be vaccinated is that she doesn't know what’s in those vaccines since she’s concerned as to what goes into her body as she takes the last bite of her weiner!

This friend reminds me of a recent quote that went viral on social media:
" I'm fully vaccinated and boostered. No, I don't know "what's in it". Neither this vaccine nor the ones I had as a child. Nor do I know what's in the 11 secret herbs and spices at KFC.
I also don't know exactly what's in Ibuprofen or Tylenol -- they just cure my
hangovers, headaches & my pains.

I don't know what's in tattoo ink, botox, and fillers, or every ingredient in my soap,
shampoo, or deodorants. I don’t know the long-term effect of mobile phone use, or whether or not that restaurant I just ate at REALLY used clean foods and washed their hands.

There are a lot of things I don't know.
I do know one thing: life is short. Very short. And I, personally, still want to do things. I want to travel and hug people without fear, and find a little feeling of life "before".
Throughout my life,
I've been vaccinated against many diseases. Measles, mumps, rubella, polio, chickenpox, hepatitis, pneumonia, influenza, tetanus, and shingles.
I've been vaccinated against many diseases. Measles, mumps, rubella, polio, chickenpox, hepatitis, pneumonia, influenza, tetanus, and shingles.
My parents (and I) trusted science, and never had to suffer through or transmit any of those said diseases.
I'm vaccinated. Not to please the government. Not to make other people do it. But I don't want to:
Die from Covid-19, clutter a hospital bed if I get sick, not be able to hug my loved ones, have to test routinely, or live my life in fear."
It seems ever since Covid arrived that everyone has served a medical internship, residency, and received a medical degree. Doctors spend four years in undergraduate college, another four years in medical school, one year of internship,
and residency can range from three to seven years depending on what type of doctor they chose to become. Your PCP may go through three years of residency whereas your neurosurgeon may go up to seven years. That means your average doctor has 12-16 years of education! Believe it or not internet warriors and the uneducated are advising people to not be vaccinated against the better judgment of medical science.

I recently saw a clip on the news where doctors and nurses are being threatened by patients
because the patients are not being given the medications they feel they need to cure their Covid. The unvaccinated patients actually think they know better what to prescribe themselves than medical personnel. It seems everybody is now a doctor!

Believe it or not, I just heard Dr. Faucci 
is recommending a booster because he owns stock in Pfizer and wants to buy a new yacht? People actually believe this.

A big Mahalo to all the front-line workers, restaurant workers, grocery store employees, and medical personnel that have had to put up with the general public the last couple of years.
A toast to returning to normalcy.

Agree with ya for once
Seriously, really good article: hope it at least gets the skeptics to think about it a little
I think people's minds at this point are made up, it's like the old expression; "You can lead the horse to water but you can't make them drink it!"
A little research and you will soon be informed of what's in the shots my friend.
I care what goes in my body, too. MD20/20 for breakfast.
One of the best things I've read on Facebook since, ....... the 80's

To James “Kimo” Rosen. A Big Mahalo for your letter. I couldn’t agree more. It’s rare that I read a letter to the Garden News that makes me laugh. You did! The incredible irony of your unvaccinated friend consuming a Costco “who knows what’s in it” hot dog while espousing the Internet disinformation is too funny and, unfortunately, too very sad. My wife is a Level 1 Trauma nurse, who refused to retire in the past 2 years. We know what “squirrel eyes” look like from double masking. She knows what COVID lung Xrays look like. She knows COVID death is very, very real. Aloha

Good letter Kimo: I have to give credit where credit is due. Now, why are we the only State that still has a mask mandate? I supported the governor’s and the mayor’s efforts to keep us safe during the first year and a half of the pandemic, but lately, my views have changed. It’s time to do away with government regulations and join the rest of the Country. It’s time to get rid of the mask mandate and let folks decide for themselves how to protect themselves and their families.
Thank you for your article in Other Voices! It was excellent. I am a retired nurse anesthetist and I Volunteered to give the vaccinations at the convention center. It was wonderful to help people get vaccinated who and they seemed to realize how important the vaccination was. And like you , I think that statement about I don’t know what’s in it is absolutely ludicrous.
Aloha Marsha,
Mahalo to you also for your service as a first responder vaccinator! Thank you for your service and the nice compliment!👍James “Kimo” Rosen

Kimo points out that the unvaccinated are clogging hospital beds while eating a hot dog and most hospital beds are serving those who live on hot dogs, processed foods, sugar and alcohol and whose life and health could be improved with simple lifestyle changes. The pre-existing conditions now referred to as co-morbidity could be prevented with healthy lifestyle.
