@movq@www.uninformativ.de
No worries, I understood you perfectly. My reply was merely a commentary, because some here—specially the youth, and I have a 20 years old son—think that the vaccine makes the 100% impervious, and thus behave pretty stupidly.
I am the one in charge of bringing food, and helping the elderly in the family, so I take super extra precautions… for their sake.
@stigatle@twtxt.net
I really do not understand anyone not willing to get vaccinated. It is just plain stupid.

Whole lot of false statements here. The vaccines are well-tested & well-studied, and are safe and effective. Breakthrough cases exist with every vaccine. If you are able and the vaccine is approved for you, choosing not to get it puts everyone around you at risk, including risk of additional variants developing.
