When Johnny Scearce came down with COVID-19 in September 2020 there were no vaccines available to combat the virus. Since then, three have been approved by the Food and Drug Administration.
So would Johnny take the vaccine?
He already has, and so has his wife, Brenda.
Johnny said last week that even though his body had created antibodies against COVID-19, his doctors recommended he get the vaccine. He’s had his two shots.
“I did it so I would be with my family,” Johnny said.
Brenda said, “Look at all the vaccines you get and your kids get before they go to school. We don’t question these. Why don’t people want to get the (COVID-19) vaccine?”
Josh Harbison, who just left the hospital after his own battle with COVID-19 and a stay in the ICU said, “You don’t ask them what kind of medicine they’re giving you when you’re in the hospital, do you?” He plans to get his vaccine within the next two weeks, just as his doctors have encouraged.
None of the three vaccines have been shown to guarantee a person won’t get COVID-19, but if it is contracted it is not nearly as devastating as it could be.
Johnny says this is reason enough to get vaccinated. “I wouldn’t want anybody to go through what I went through,” he said.
