Related: About this forumKen Buck won't take the vaccine
https://www.denverpost.com/2020/12/18/ken-buck-colorado-covid-19-vaccine/U.S. Rep. Ken Buck said Friday that he will not be taking a COVID-19 vaccine.
It is my choice, the Windsor Republican told Fox Business Channel. I have the freedom to decide if Im going to take a vaccine or not and in this case I am not going to take the vaccine."
...
Im a healthy person and I think most Americans are healthy, Buck added. I think what we should do is we should focus on the at-risk populations in America, make sure those are the people who get this vaccine first, make sure the health care workers that want the vaccine get the vaccine as soon as possible. But I am not going to take a vaccine.

I really wonder if he's even capable of realizing that if he takes the vaccine, it could prevent his infecting others. It's not just all about him. I hope he just holds his breath for the next year or so. Anyone getting near him is at risk.

        Then for all I care he can die gurgling "my body my choice" between bucketloads of snot as his organs break down.

        Yes, your body, your choice.  But it's our common air.  I'd like to seal up the orifices of every anti-masker that says that.

        That is why I will be getting the vaccine in order to remain so.
