(111,312 posts)The other night I went to the laundry room to retrieve my clothing and I had a hypoglycemic reaction and nearly didn't make it back to the apartment which is about 30 yards away. I've also had an idiot swerve and try to hit me while riding my bike.
At some point, I will do the research and weigh the risk/benefit aspect and also consider my duty to society by getting vaccinated. That applies to both the HPV vaccine and a potential COVID vaccine.
I've lived more than a decade longer than the average lifespan for someone in my demographic group. If some disease or medical condition affects me, then my only request is that I receive medical treatment to reduce any pain associated with that condition. While I don't have a death wish, the only event that I would like to attend in the distant future is the bicentennial of my college alma mater in 2040. Otherwise, I'm mentally and morally prepared to accept whatever fate is in store for me.
