A couple of my mother's friends in that age range have that same interesting blend of mortality optimism and vaccine skepticism. At a certain point, I feel like the long term effects of
life would be the most likely danger.
My mom has been saying from the beginning that she doesn't trust the vaccine. And yet, she's been super happy for me that I was able to get both my shots. This makes no sense to me. But a ton of her friends have gotten vaccinated with nothing more than very minor and expected side effects, so at this point it looks more like sheer stubbornness than anything else. I'm hoping peer pressure gets to her eventually.
