My husband works very closely with an anti-vaxxer [View all]

About a year ago, the guy came down with COVID. He's young (late 20s), but still ended up in the hospital.
He didn't need a ventilator, but he was in the hospital for a week or so with it.

Guess what? He just came down with COVID again.

He thought he was protected because he recovered.

Something tells me that we are going to be dealing with this wily virus forever.

And, the people who refuse to get vaccinated are the ones encouraging it to keep us guessing about its next move.
