And so I think that that's one of the conversations that we have to have. Yeah. One of my stories, and I've never told this story before, but I was in elementary school when they were giving out the polio shots.

And so I think that that's one of the conversations that we have to have. Yeah. One of my stories, and I've never told this story before, but I was in elementary school when they were giving out the polio shots.

And I remember the guy, the person before me got a shot and they had a little blood come out of their arm. I was so scared of getting that polio shot. But then they said, I don't know, they must have had a newsflash or something. They said, well, we're not going to give out any more polio shots. I was so relieved because I didn't want that polio.

But I was glad that, you know, anyway, that's all over the place. But anyway, the other thing I want to say is this, from a community perspective, I think attitude, and we've been talking about that, people's attitudes about this is so important for people to check. I mean, just for, you know, for facts. I mean, does this or will this affect us? Will this hurt us?

I mean, but again, it is so hard for me as a community person going out when people think like, well, I'm not going to get it because they're going to develop a pill tomorrow. that's going to be able to take care of this. I mean, we have such an attitude about how while we distrust science, we also believe that they're going to be able to find a solution for us the next day.

And so we're willing to play that crap game, hoping that seven or 11 comes up. And in that process, as we've talked about before, it's just so many people are dying while they're waiting. So I think that this conversation is very, very important. I mean, that's really what health chatter is about.

I mean, we, you know, we can't solve all the problems of the world, but we can enter the conversation in a way in which people can feel engaged. So, uh, that may not make any sense, but that's how I feel.

Clarence. This has been an exciting conversation. And I knew with Sherilyn, we talked about this earlier. Sherilyn was going to tell us how she really, really felt. Sherilyn, you know, I think at this point, I'm a community health worker. What is it that... In spite of all these things, what do you think community health workers should be sharing with our community about this?

What kind of, do we need additional training in order to make this more effective from a community perspective?

Yeah. So we have rising cases of COVID. of diseases where we need to make sure that our community is immunized. And I just, I just think that people should be made aware of the information and they should make an informed decision, you know, and you know, as we've been talking about today, you know, think about yourself and also think about your family and the impact that it could have on them.

You know, if you take unnecessary risk around these diseases, that's my thought.
