Unvaccinated

I haven’t seen the dentist Since pre-Covid days, although I’m finally feeling ready and I called to tell him so. I questioned the receptionist If he’d received his shot. Her answer, most evasive, Let me know that he had not. I told her, “Have him call me,” Which he did and when he called, He said he needed no vaccine, Which had me quite appalled. Since he had beaten Covid, He has antibodies now. His hygienist does as well; To that he’d take a vow. I thanked him for his time but After seeing him for years, I’ve found somebody new Who’s vaccinated, it appears. We all must do as we must do So we feel safe and sound And on this issue what I know Is I must stand my ground.

After having Covid he is vaccinated Ilene. The antibodies are a result of vaccination in the body. When you get a flu shot you are injected with flu or dead flu now days. Perhaps we'll all be injected with cold cells one day to staive off the common cold. Trevor

You did right, Ilene. If enough people do as you did, that dentist may find himself without clients. My next dentist appt. is November, and my dentist requires proof of vaccinatioin which I have. / Maurice

Oh gosh Ilene I've just had a tooth extracted never thought of even asking if they had had the jab I guess i am too trusting. Since the border was opened last week (and just before it opened) we have cases of covid in the community and the cases are rising on a daily basis:-( hugs jan xx

i just read of a 35 year old high school principal who is dying of covid in the hospital and his family "won't disclose his vaccination status." i think we can all figure out what that means...

Stay firm, Ilene! Kudos on your sane resolve. And your message, in this timely little verse, is well communicated and very necessary.

the virus is never going to go away. It will be continually pumped up like Inspector Clouseau's rubber parrot
