Josephine is a gospel/R&B singer in Seattle who battled COVID-19 from March through May 2020. While she didn’t want to experience COVID-19 again, she was skeptical of the vaccines when they became available in 2021 – feeling that the vaccines were being pushed with too much urgency and people were making the choice to get vaccinated out of fear, rather than logic.
Ultimately, she decided to get vaccinated in order to better serve her community. It wasn’t an easy decision, but her desire to protect her community, her faith in God, and her trust in medical experts guided her to vaccination.
