There Doesn't Seem To Be A Bottom...

 Hi.

So, how low are people willing to sink to perpetuate their delusions? Why, scream and yell at hospital workers, block ambulances, and hinder patients from entering care facilities, of course!

There doesn't seem to be a bottom. No matter how much real world, real time evidence is accumulated. No matter how many days go by with new case number records being broken. No matter how every day over 75% of those cases are in unvaccinated people. No matter how every day, the deaths and serious illness caused by Covid are overwhelmingly affecting the unvaccinated. 

Right now, there is a very small, and I repeat, very small, parcel of the population who are legitimately unable to be vaccinated. Children under the age of twelve, and those unfortunate few who medically can't take it. 

That's it. These are the most vulnerable among us. The ones that need the most protecting. The sick, and the babies. 

These idiots, with the exception of those who exploit them, seem to truly believe that they are at war with government, fascism, communism, nazism, terms apparently equal and interchangeable in their minds, when they are really raging war on protecting our kids and those adults truly unable to be vaccinated.

The collateral damage? One small example. Our daughter needs surgery. Needs it. Not emergent, but absolutely necessary. I have two friends also in need of very important, and life saving surgery.

These surgeries? Pushed back... again. Two years have been tacked on to the wait because of Covid. The first time, it was nobody's fault. Covid hit, things had to shift, things had to change. 

But, once we knew what we needed to do to stop the spread of this virus. Once we knew how to contain it. Once we had an obvious out with the vaccine, the fault slid squarely on to the shoulders of those who refuse to wear masks, refuse to social distance, refuse to be vaccinated. 

And there it remains. 

When the Health Authority of Trinidad has to take time to clarify and debunk the story that Niki Minaj tweeted to her 2 million plus followers, about her cousin's friend who apparently is impotent and has swollen testicles, and that they were trying to somehow magically attribute those two things to the vaccine, is just insane.

Well, by that logic, I ate peas one day, and then, shortly thereafter, I found out I had a sinus infection. Must have been the peas. Right?

As the patients in the Covid ICU's grow in number and get younger, it becomes more and more apparent on whom you are waging war.

You are angry that your theories about the Pandemic, about measures needed to curb it, and about the efficacy of the vaccines are all being proven ridiculous as real world, real time data comes in from all over the planet. 

Your arguments are shrinking, and in doing so, becoming more and more idiotic. 

Over the past week, I have asked many times for proof of any of it. I get nonsensical answers, I get belligerence, I get people playing dumb, pretending they didn't say what they said, or mean it if they do admit to saying it. 

Argue the rabbit hole. I will follow you down as far as it goes, but I will make you logically explain, and prove every step along the way. 

Don't come at me with the "fake news" defense. The entire medical community is not lying to you. That makes absolutely no sense.

Don't come at me with anything you can't prove with real sources. So far, I've been sent links to things that can be debunked within a few minutes. Try harder. 

If your information comes from a medical 'journal' that hasn't been around longer than ten years, keep it to yourself.

If it doesn't come from a peer scrutinized study, keep it to yourself.

Anecdotes are not facts.

Your idiocy is keeping my daughter from a surgery she needs to live. My daughter has a right to medical care. You being butt-hurt about not getting to go to concerts, work, school etc. without being vaccinated is irrelevant. You being upset at being inconvenienced by wearing a mask is idiotic.

Your willful ignorance is getting in the way of people getting the basic health care they need to live. Which is, by the way, an actual right, unlike your misguided thoughts on restrictions. 

Your childish tantrums are getting in the way of the majority of people, and the vast majority of eligible people are vaccinated, living our lives. 

As more rules are bound to be put in place, because you can't seem to do the right thing, no matter what, I will wear my mask to protect the vulnerable. 

Just know, I'm no longer doing it to protect you. You've successfully, but hopefully temporarily, broken that part of me. You are choosing to be part of the vulnerable. Your body, your choice, right?

If you have genuine concerns about the vaccines, ask your family doctor. Read actual medical journals. Talk to people outside of your bubble who have had the vaccine. Don't accept one anecdote, or one single case and hold it up as the rule instead of the exception.

About a hundred years ago, there was another pandemic. People just did what was necessary to defeat it. No crying, no whining, no protesting. They just did what was needed, got through it, and life went on. Why don't you want to do that?

If you want to compare this pandemic to a time in history, compare it to something relevant like the 1918-20 pandemic, not world wars, which have nothing to do with medicine. That Pandemic spanned over a period of 23 months. With today's advances you'd think we'd have it beaten in less time. But, then again, they didn't have so many willing to chase crazy squirrels down rabbit holes of misinformation, or have the means to spread it.

May the loudest, ignorant, few find within themselves to do what's right.

May they, if they really need to, find some other fictional foe to fight.

May they go back to the harmless crazy of flat earth and moon landing, fairytales.

May they realize their arguments within a few minutes of a deep dive are epic fails.

May the butt-hurt throw their tantrums in private, we are exhausted by your idiocy.

May you feel the egg on your face, the egg that has become caked on and moldy.

May you see that the vast majority of us are no longer willing to coddle your vehement absurdity.

May you come to terms with who you are actually waging war against, the vulnerable, abhorrently.
