26. Yes I cancelled my trip a week ago

Fri Nov 20, 2020, 01:46 PM

I believe my family will get vaccinated as soon as it's available. But we're almost all Dems in my family, so that's what I'd expect. For those who refuse the vaccine once it's available, not all will be politically motivated. I believe a few Dems and liberals of one kind or another will want to be convinced that the vaccine is safe before they actually receive it.

It's going to take time getting everyone vaccinated. If anyone refuses then they should be required to wear a mask all the time.
