I was being slightly overly general. I understand why you got the vaccine, and most likely would have done the same thing under similar circumstances. When I said "pregnant", it was in the spirit of protecting not just the unborn but also the 18 month old & under infant.
There's a large segment of the vaccine-receiving population that are panicky, self-important idiots, though. This should not get lost in the conversation (especially when there is a shortage where those who should absolutely get the vaccination can't)
