Depends on whether or not you're one of those unfortunate few who die from the vaccine itself. There were a lot of problems, including chronic illnesses, as a direct result of required vaccines for military service in the Middle East.
Opal is joking I think - she already has autoimmune issues.

Wonderful. Just wonderful, 7 come 11 = 19
Luck of the roll. Personally, I won't voluntarily push my luck with a vaccine. I'd rather trust and support my immune system.
In dice, 7 come 11 means one or the other, both good.
If coronavirus vaccines were even kind of safe they would be available already. The idea of an untested vaccine being widely distributed and with manufacturer indemnity... **** that ****!
What, astrologically, lends to trust in the government, doctors, and officials. I don’t have a clue on this.��
Yes, they are all authoritative hierarchical structures where you have to just trust the system. The emperors never have any clothes. That has always confused me too - how people can trust broken things just because they accurately reflect power dynamics.
I have Saturn in Capricorn. What happened?
With my lack of immune system, I will also trust in the Cosmos. If it is my time it is my time. I don’t trust that I would not be one of the lucky few that got ill or died because of receiving it he said vaccine, that may be available in the future, unknown. I have lived through many flus before.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Richard_Nixon's_1972_visit_to_ChinaThe seven-day official visit to three Chinese cities was the first time a U.S. president had visited the PRC; Nixon's arrival in Beijing ended 25 years of no communication or diplomatic ties between the two countries and was the key step in normalizing relations between the U.S. and China. Nixon visited China to gain more leverage over relations with the Soviet Union.
Before I went to Egypt for the very first time in 2004, I read Jehan Sadat's memoirs, "Woman of Egypt". She was President Anwar Sadat's wife. Remember he was murdered (assassinated) in the reviewing stands, sitting next to the one who became the President of Egypt for 30 years, Mubarak then his VP.
It was a wonderful look at Egypt, from the time she was a young girl, to marrying a famous War General.
President Sadat told her to stop worrying about his safety because of the unrest in the country at that time. He insisted that "when its his time, nothing can stop that"...Insh'allah - (God willing) which is a popular saying in Egypt.
He believed in fate in other words, and so do I. We don't go before our time here is up. At least I don't think so.
As a visitor to Egypt many times since 2004, it is a typical greeting and goodbye, to remind ourselves...always: ʾIn shāʾ Allāh (Arabic: إِنْ شَاءَ ٱللّٰهُ, is the Arabic language expression for "God willing" or "if God wills". Even when we see, "see you next year" or "tomorrow"
Inshallah
. It expresses the belief that nothing happens unless God wills it and that his will supersedes all human will.

note:
I don't think Egypt has been as hard hit as many other countries although they do have corona Virus outbreaks too. I believe it started with the tourists. But now tourism, their life's bread for many is now come to a grinding halt for the time being. Its probably been about 10 years now, I recall China being a huge part of their tourist trade which has only grown since. They also visited Israel.
One thing we noticed is that they ALWAYS wore face masks, carried umbrellas for the sun - and often large hats although the ladies and girls probably buy the hats there in Egypt. But ALWAYS masks which we use to think rather strange years ago. Perhaps it was their fear of strangers or pollution? I know their own country is heavily polluted or use to be.

"Because 'that's just how it's done'" and conversely, "Because 'that's just not how it's done'" have never impressed me as being reasonable explanations.
Even the dudes in North African desert climates traditionally wear clothing very similar.
I had always thought of it as protection from the elements. Wind, sun. Pandemic?
Opal:
I doubt it. Never heard that posited before. I think it's purely, a cultural/religious thing.
I never see women any longer wearing them in Egypt, although if they do its a rarity.
Usually, when I see them its when I'm leaving Luxor to go to Cairo at the airport, then you see various women walking with families with the call to "Dubai"...(can't recall if there is another country too, possibly...but i do recall a LOT going to Dubai) over the loudspeaker. Then, "there they go, all in a row",

Most men & women in regions I prefer to vacation now, (Luxor region), wear the traditional galabaya, (browns, black and sometimes lighter colors for younger people)
Some children wear them too, its very comfortable for Egyptians in that land.
But burquas? They may have been outlawed (except for tourist trade like I said, who wear what they wish) The govt. had a BIG problem with burqas saying that it could hide the extremists too easily, so they considered a ban (not sure if its banned or not...but I never see it, so very possibly)
People from western Europe and the U.S. often buy Galabayas too on tours for dancing on the cruises, or other social events or just to have something different to take home with them.
Visiting Alexandria after the Revolution in Spring 2011 - for example, (rooftop Planetarium above the Alex Library-) young women dress most often in jeans, boots, flats, sandals etc..although older ones might wear longer skirts, etc
This was a display inside the Library when we went: Cultural typical dress hasn't changed all that much since the country kicked out the British rule:
These are some of the dressier Galabayas, rather then the normal average drab plain ones for everyday desert use.
