Ouray police turned down the coronavirus vaccine. Then almost the entire department fell ill.
Police officers and other responders were among the first people eligible in Ouray County to get the vaccine when it arrived at the end of December. Very few took the shot.
When Ouray Police Chief Jeff Wood started feeling sick on Monday, Feb. 1, he brushed it off as a sinus infection.
The mild fever, muscle aches and minor congestion that he noticed for two days seemed more like a sinus infection than anything to worry about, and by Wednesday, he felt better.
He attended a training that day with the department’s four full-time officers, where he wore a mask and kept his distance, he said.
On the advice of the Ouray County Public Health Agency, he was tested for the next day. By Saturday, the results had come back: positive for coronavirus.
As he began to feel sicker over the weekend, the dominoes began to fall across the department. While law enforcement officers were among the first to become eligible for the COVID-19 vaccine, most in Ouray County have not opted to get vaccinated, including Wood and most of his department.

Wtf is wrong with people? 
(No need to answer, that was a rhetorical question.)
