Covid

COVID CONTINUES...


PERSPECTIVES... Can vary from one person to another.  Based on a person's perspective and feelings,  There's always going to be evaluations of events and social behaviors,  based on your perspective.  Some may be simply issues that don't affect you,  and some will be issues that directly affect you.  When the issue affects you directly, the result is judgement and probable prejudice and persecution towards those responsible. 



And no matter how the facts are presented,  perspectives are not likely to be changed.  Self justified beliefs and feelings are powerful. 

But no matter which perspective you have,  there's the fact that society will blame those that are perceived to be most responsible. 
The continued covid threat ... Who's to blame? The growing movement,  the growing consensus is that... If everyone was vaccinated, we wouldn't face the re-emerging covid threat. 
A valid conclusion based on facts. To what degree might be questionable to some... to others,  an absolute conclusion. 

Real or justified? Does it matter? There are those that due to personal preferences decline to get vaccinated not only  putting themselves in danger.... BUT also put society as a whole in jeopardy by giving the virus a breeding ground to proliferate and enable mutation... again to be unleashed on the population at large.

It was once said that the needs of the many outweigh the needs of the few.... clearly this is lost on a society that values individual wants above all else. The  " It's All About Me" mentality... What they want,  when they want it,  and no one or Nothing Else Matters.

In some cases, it's truly a real shame, some really good people relied on frivolous information to decline vaccination... worse yet, some relied on religious beliefs as a bona fide reason not to be vaccinated... unfortunately some of those people have already died or suffer with lifelong debilitating consequences.

On the other hand,  some outspoken individuals that expressed disdain for any consideration Beyond themselves... well, one can be distressed over any consequences they bring upon themselves up to and including death. Nor be concerned that they are the blunt of society blaming them for covid pandemic staying alive. 

But that's just one perspective. One that clearly is shared by many.
