FOR THE FUTURE OF THOSE WE LOVE

IT’S TIME TO RECONSIDER WHAT WE CONSIDER.

We were hesitant about the vaccine, but even more determined in our desire to protect the ones we love. We share a history that casts fear and doubt, but as the fruit paid for by the seeds of our ancestors, we also share a history of hope that has proven our collective strength can make a difference.

As a community we owe it to each other to take hold of our faith to move with confidence and courage. Because in this moment, when we choose love over fear, love CAN keep us safe.

For the future of those we love, it’s time to ReConsider what WE consider.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why does it matter if I get the COVID-19 vaccine or not?

The vaccine will add extra protection. COVID 19-vaccines are effective and can lower your risk of getting and spreading the virus that causes COVID-19. COVID-19 vaccines also help prevent serious illness and death in children and adults, even if they do get COVID-19. (Source: cdc.gov/coronavirus)

Do I need to get the vaccine if I already had COVID-19?

Yes, you should still get vaccinated if you already had COVID-19. Data show it is uncommon to be re-infected with COVID-19 in the 90 days after you were infected. That means you might have some protection from COVID-19 (called natural immunity) for a little while. However, we don’t know how long natural immunity lasts. Learn more about why you should still get vaccinated with a COVID-19 vaccine.

Are the vaccines actually safe or effective?

Yes, the COVID-19 vaccines are safe and effective. Scientists tested the vaccines on tens of thousands of participants in clinical trials. The vaccines met the U.S. Food and Drug Administration’s (FDA) standards for safety, effectiveness, and manufacturing quality needed to get emergency use authorization. They were all found to be very good at preventing people from getting sick with COVID-19. Since then, these vaccines have been given safely to millions of people.

Do I need the COVID-19 vaccine, or can I just use herbal remedies and supplements instead?

Many people take vitamin C, zinc, green tea, or echinacea to boost their immune systems. However, these supplements are unlikely to affect your immune function or prevent you from getting sick with COVID-19. Colloidal silver, which has been falsely marketed as a COVID-19 treatment, is not safe or effective for treating any disease. Oleandrin, an extract from the toxic oleander plant, is poisonous and shouldn’t be taken as a supplement or home remedy. (Source: Mayo Clinic)
