Eron & Josh discuss their risk-based approach that led them to become vaccinated. Have you also been asking yourself, What is the endgame for the COVID pandemic? Do we all have a personal responsibility to get vaccinated for the herd? Let's leave the politics out of the vaccination decision and have a common sense conversation.
