Thank you for all that you do. I was vaccinated, and now tested positive for Covid. I am thankful! for the vaccines I received. I can’t imagine how sick I would have been without it due to my personal health. Please get the vaccines. If not for yourself for the love ones and medical personnel that put their lives on the line for us, they have the right to live and be with their families too.
