for many people. If you're one of those people that are compromised by health conditions such as myself, these vaccines can make a world of difference.

It is not there to guarantee us 100% of not having a runny nose and Etc. There will always be a fatality somewhere. Until we are perfect beings and don't need any help at all, then perhaps we should continue to at least think about them.
