In reply to Marianne Schumacher (Letters, April 20) my letter of April 7 was not propaganda. It was based on personal experience.
I understand that life is a game of chance. All that any vaccine can do is increase your chances of staying alive and well.
If you choose not
to have the Covid-19 jab, you are similar to someone who doesn't wear a seatbelt.
It's called "death by Darwin", whereby you make the sort of decision that might enhance your risk of dying, thus taking you out of the gene pool, perhaps leaving the species as a whole better off.
Take a deep breath. These are frightening times. I sympathise with you. Talk to your health provider, weigh up your risks, and make a decision.
