As a 77-year-old, Type 1 diabetic female who had COVID-19 in November 2020, I resent being pushed into a vaccine that I do not need. I have the antibodies … and since they are my own, I feel, as many in the medical profession feel, that they are stronger and better than a vaccine from a bottle. But Biden and the politicians in Illinois are making life more difficult for people like me by their mandates. When do we count? They never even mention us. I am one of six in my family who had COVID and now have natural antibodies. Assuredly there are millions of other Americans like us. We are not spreading the virus … so quit making us sound like we don’t care about our fellow men and women.   Thank you, Marie Demas Illinois
