We are told to “social distance”. We are told to mask up. Fauci suggested at one point to double mask up. Fauci then says mask don’t work. Vaccine is released. This is supposed to get rid of Covid. Covid starts mutating to different strains. Vaccinated people are getting Covid. Covid is growing. But we don’t see hospital ships in NYC and LA. We don’t see business’ closed that are “non essential”. Theme parks are open unlike last year and only have a mask policy indoors. Point I’m trying to make is according to media outlets we are back to March 2020 and it’s worse. Science claimed all these things over the last year and a half will get rid of Covid. We hear nothing about the flu anymore. Everybody is a Covid expert from their internet medical degrees. Everybody thinks they are right and anybody who has a difference of opinion is wrong. Just look back at everything we’ve been told the past year and a half. Do we really even know what is accurate and what isn’t about Covid anymore? I’ve had Covid. I haven’t been vaccinated. I’m not a conspiracy theorist regarding vaccinations. I’m just hesitant because nobody knows if they will have long term negative effects from it. I carry a mask with me. If required I wear it. If not I don’t. I ask if in company of others if i need to wear a mask out of RESPECT to others and put it on. Maybe we should all stop being so concerned on being right all the time and start showing RESPECT and EMPATHY towards others.
