[QUOTE="Max68, post: 2334814, member: 521172"] For me the decision is made really due to the situation with my mum. Every time we visit her in the care home behind a Perspex screen she is in constant tears because due to her dementia she cannot understand why we can't hold her hand or give her a hug and to walk out at the end of a visit without being able to physically reassure or comfort her is a feeling I cannot describe without setting off the sites obscene language filter! We can't wait 10 years to be able to have that back. People talk about this pandemic affecting people mentally, well I can tell you being unable to comfort mum destroys my sister and I and I cannot get the constant visions of leaving her out of my head. To hear her shouting at me "I wouldn't leave my mum like this" kicks the wind out of you. If a vaccine allows me to give her a hug and hold her hand then that is a risk worth taking for me. [/QUOTE]
