Avoiding Vaccine Conversations?
What is your favorite response to avoid answering about your vaccine status? I do not intend to receive the COVID-19 “vaccine,” for a variety of reasons. In a time of vaccine passports, and when I am asked about my vax status by colleagues and acquaintances on a routine basis (so far only in passing casual conversation), I would like to come up with a few responses. Preferably responses that avoid the issue, avoid publicity and controversy, avoid unnecessarily straining relationships.
I doubt our USA Government will mandate vaccination, but other countries might, and private property owners (e.g., businesses) might. That will be a deal-breaker for me. In the meantime, just for avoiding vaccine conflict in casual conversation (even direct interrogation), what are your favorite retorts?

Your best response is a non-responsive answer that doesn't answer the "have you had it" question at all. I bet someone will come along with a good one :-)
Now as far as removing masks: first of all they do absolutely nothing good. I am sure most of us know that, but in case anyone isn't convinced, they can google the CDC Data Tracker to get all the stats you could ever want. And second of all, even if you have had your full vax over two weeks ago, nothing in it prevents one from getting - OR transmitting - COVID. Ultimately, if it doesn't kill you, it might make your case a little weaker, but only under the best of circumstances.
So, removing - or wearing - masks, is an exercise in silliness. I do both, depending on the circumstances of the moment, but I am still VERY ASHAMED of my fellow Texans for being such (I hate to use the word for it, but nothing else applies so well) sheep and still wearing their masks doggedly even after the state mandate went away.
The other one I use is this: I know of only one person - a father of a friend - who has died with COVID-19 (notice I don't say from COVID). I know of two people who have died from the vaccine (one was my wife's high school friend) and a third who almost did (sister-in-law). Given those odds, I'm not touching the "vaccines" with a ten-foot pole.
On Facebook I belong to several cruise groups, and all the news there is about Royal requiring a vax (as well as most if not all of the others). EVERY discussion turns into a roll call with "I'm vaxxed," very proudly like they've done something magnificent. Over, and over, and over, and over...like I care. So, I'm pretty inactive in the cruising facebook groups these days!
Surprisingly, no one I know, not even my kids, has asked me about my vax status. *Nor have I asked them.
First, I want to see how the vaccinated people are 6 months or a year from now. Do they have allergies they didn't have before? Are they anaphylactic in nature, and therefore potentially life threatening? Did they develop other health issues (increased susceptibility to the flu, for example) they didn't have before? Far too many questions that can't be answered right now.
Second, I have allergies, some severe, and some are life-threatening. Yeah, it's been a small number, but too many of the fatalities that have been reported were from people who shared one or more of my allergies. So I've got (what I consider to be) legitimate health-related reasons to not get vaccinated.
2 and 4 are also true in my case.
I’m in the study for long term safety issues. I am in the control group.

A lot of info in that one long sentence that will be sure to put a puzzled look on the face of any of the sheep-types.
