I'm just gonna skip the formalities and get straight to the point. I am sick and tired of hearing all the bull shit and excuses for why Americans won't get the Covid 19 vaccine. I've been angry for a while about it, but this morning I've decided I'm gonna say my peace and attempt to be done with it; wash my hands of it...
Dear Anti-vaxxers, you are correct about your rights to your body, but ironic that consideration isn't given to pregnant women over their own bodies.
You are correct about your Constitutional rights, but you aren't in the least considering those rights of your fellow citizens or considering the flip side of the coin which is your civic duties to this nation and its citizens.
You are correct that you shouldn't have to be forced to take a shot you don't want, but that's the WHOLE POINT. You SHOULDN'T HAVE TO BE FORCED TO DO THE RIGHT THING!!!
You are correct about these vaccines being pushed out on the market very quickly, but what you don't know is that this technology has been in development for nearly 20 years in attempt to fight other SARS Covid viruses, so it was easy, with $50 billion of our tax dollars injected into the industry and allowing all 3 phases of testing and trials to be completed simultaneously, to transition the technology into fighting this newer deadly pathogen. Now the Pfizer vaccine has received full FDA approval after rigorous testing.
You are correct that there are some side effects from getting the vaccine, none of which compare to DEATH...
You are correct about saying we don't know the long term effects of this vaccine, but let's look at the efficacy of other vaccines on the market... when's the last time you had polio? Measles? Rubella? Typhoid? Tetanus? Scarlet fever? Diphtheria? Oh that's right! You haven't had them because your parents GOT YOU VACCINATED!!!
The REALITY is that the modern world you and I live in is because of medical technology.
I had childhood cancer that I SURVIVED TWICE because of medical technology.
There's less infant mortality because of medical technology.
There's more prevention of transmittable diseases because of medical technology.
People live longer lifespans because of medical technology.
Less people die from surgery and post surgical complications like infections due to medical technology.
We can detect cancers, diseases, and other illnesses through simple tests now and begin treatment quicker so you don't die!!! Because of medical technology.
You have the right to be upset about being inconvenienced by the nation not being reopened for regular business and pleasure as you would like, or having to show a card proving you are vaccinated, but just know this one thing very emphatically:
YOU ARE THE REASON THINGS CAN'T AND HAVEN'T GONE BACK TO NORMAL YET!
25% or more of Americans say they absolutely will not take the jab, not even to get to the "herd immunity" they ranted on and on about for the entire year of 2020. They don't even want to give Donald Trump the credit he deserves. It took him 9 months of lies and misinformation to pull his head from his fat orange ass, but once he did, the response was swift and effective. Biden just made the process faster and more efficient to get the vaccine into as many Americans as possible to stave off more unnecessary deaths from a 100% preventable disease.
Y'all didn't want to be inconvenienced by having to stay home when sick.
Y'all didn't want to be inconvenienced by washing your hands or social distancing.
Y'all didn't want to be inconvenienced by wearing a mask to protect yourself and others.
Y'all didn't want to have the bars, restaurants, clubs, gyms, bowling alleys, movie theaters, etc. shut down either.
Y'all especially didn't want to consider the health and well being of other people besides yourself.
Y'all wanted to act patriotic, but won't actually do anything to protect your fellow citizens. Y'all flew Trump flags and screamed about Antifa and BLM as over 400,000 Americans during that time had died and has now more than doubled that since due to the mutations and new variants like delta and omicron.
Y'all threw Covid parties and some of you lost friends, family, loved ones or your own life due to arrogance, stupidity, or just plain hubris.
Y'all spread hate across the Internet towards those of Asian ancestry. Hate crimes went up by 300% due to the rhetoric of calling Covid 19 the "China Virus" or "Kung-flu". A close friend, an immigrant from Vietnam had her adult child harassed and bullied on a college campus this last year.
Y'all blamed the Obama's, the Clinton's, Nancy Pelosi, Bill Gates, Hunter Biden, the Chinese communist party, LEFTISTS, Marxists, socialists, ANTIFA, and ANYONE else you could use as a SCAPEGOAT to AVOID TAKING PERSONAL RESPONSIBILITY in this matter.
The reality is that it doesn't really matter where the virus came from in how we treat it (there are ongoing investigations on the origins of this pathogen), medically, and how we treat one another, humanely. This sad situation over the last two years has shown us very clearly that 25% or more of the American people DON'T GIVE A FUCK ABOUT THE OTHER 75% or less. That is their RIGHT. It's just a shit attitude and a shit way to treat your fellow humans; fellow citizens.
Anti-vaxxers DON'T YOU DARE COMPLAIN ABOUT THINGS BEING CLOSED OR BEING BURDENED OR THAT YOUR A VICTIM. YOU'RE NOT. We saw very clearly now that YOU are the bully and you want to PRETEND PATRIOTISM while showing vile contempt for the rest of us. I heard so many people from this minority in the Anti-vaxxer community that they were perfectly fine with people dying so they didn't have to be inconvenienced.
Empathy is inconvenient. I get it. I just don't want to see the victim card played EVER AGAIN by ANYONE that was fine with millions of deaths across the globe. 1% of 7.5 billion humans is 75 million people. Current global death toll because of caring, hard working doctors, technicians, scientists, chemists, and all their supporting staffs is only 3.76 million. Those lost lives are tragic and my heart goes out to any and all who lost loved ones to this preventable disease... all because folks were too inconvenienced to mask, wash hands, social distance, stay home when sick, and get vaccinated.
Y'all claim to be adults so now it's time to grow the fuck up.
Now we have new variants that are more contagious and harmful if not deadly. Thanks for that. Was it worth it?
