And the beat goes on...

And the best goes on...



And as time goes on, the covid virus continues to spread and surge again. Peak infection rates continue to rise and hospitals are filling up once again. The health care system is one again being pushed beyond limits. Restrictions are being put back into place and masks and proof of vaccination are being required in ever increasing places. 





So... Each to your own perspective... For right or wrong. 

Why is the virus spreading so fast again?  According to the powers to be, the primary reason is that the unvaccinated are contracting and spreading the virus. Some say that all this is propaganda, not to be believed. They site dozens of reasons why they oppose the vaccine. 

Again... Each to their own beliefs. 

Personally I find to hard to understand why so many are opposed to the vaccine. I haven't heard a valid excuse yet except those based on emotions and conjecture. In the 20th century vaccines controlled many horrible viruses. No doubt many people today wouldn't be here if not for vaccines given to their parents and grandparents. Why do people think that this vaccine is any different than all those that came before? 


So here we are today... Socially divided on the vaccine issue that has been going on for two years. 




Reasons to not get vaccinated...

Against my religious beliefs. 
It changes your DNA.
It's a form of mind control. 
It lets government track your locations. 
I don't want to be told what to do. 
It changes your sexual preferences.
It will cause birth defects.
The government is lying about the virus. 
They making up false facts and statistics.
It's all ahoax perpetrated by the government.
The vaccine can give you Covid.
The vaccine affects a woman's ability to have children. 
Getting the vaccine leads to long term health effects. 
the vaccine hard not been fully tested.  
 
Well,  the list goes on and on...
Those opposed to the vaccine site science... Really, what science?
Ignore actual real science and the protection of the vaccine. 
And like anything else,  they will listen to social media leading them in the wrong direction, supporting wrong conclusions, simply because it supports their personal beliefs. 

Well... Again,  to each their own. 

Social division puts the two sites opposing each other...
Those vaccinated and those not. 



If this was merely a personal choice with personal consequences than there wouldn't be any issues.  BUT, those that are not vaccinated are putting others at risk. Worse yet, the unvaccinated don't even care who else they might affect. This was evident when the mask mandate was changed to allow those vaccinated not to have to wear masks. At that time less than half were vaccinated... but almost no one was wearing a mask. The 50% unvaccinated refused to wear a mask to protect others.  And there in lies the biggest issues.  

Cold hearted response... The unvaccinated that don't care about others leads to one conckusion... Since you don't care about contracting the virus and spreading it... No one is going to feel sorry for you if and when you get sick. They made their choices and should accept sole responsibility for the consequences. 

But... To each their own. 

There's no end in sight... 
This is the new normal.
