I am ANGRY
Why am I angry?
I’m angry because we are in lockdown and have been for seven weeks because some people REFUSE to take this PANDEMIC seriously. They seem to believe that wearing a mask, staying at home, refusing to vaccinate and not meeting in groups is an affront to their freedom.
Their behaviour can and does lead to being infected by this virulent virus, especially this DELTA strain. COVID-19 is NOT just a bad influenza. It is a serious disease that has killed MILLIONS of people, put hundreds of millions in hospital many in ICU and gasping for breath, tens of thousands on ventilators just so they can stay alive. Victims of this disease are spending weeks in hospital, and not just the old and infirm but people in their teens, their twenties and their thirties and even young fit healthy children.
And then there are those who months later are still too unwell to work, who still fight for every breath, those whose mental faculties are diminished in a continuous brain fog. This is not the flu, this is what is being known as “long-COVID”.
Our society runs because we as humans are prepared to do so many things for the good of others, friends, family, and community and for everyone’s health and safety. We prove competence of driving by getting a licence, we wear a seat-belt for our safety and that of others, we register our vehicles and have them safety checked and we drive on the correct side of the road. Billions of people drive to the speed limit, observe the traffic lights, don’t drink and drive and follow the rules of the road. Why? For the safety and well-being of ourselves and others. Those who choose to speed, drink-drive, ignore traffic lights or the road rules risk death not only to themselves but to others on the road and their families grieve for them after their death or permanent incapacitation.
But this disease is like no other. By simply meeting with friends, by passing by one another in the street it is transmitted so very easily, not once but over and over and over. In one day in Sydney alone 466 people AT LEAST became infected. People in their twenties and thirties are dying OF COVID-19 who have no underlying health problems.
Scientists using the latest scientific discoveries, fully funded by government and companies, working overtime have developed VACCINES that mitigate the serious consequences of this disease and reduce its ability to infect others. These vaccines have now been tested in thousands of millions of people over the past twelve months to be safe and effective.
So why do we have people listening and believing the crazy, deluded idiots in our community who are anti-vaccination?
Vaccines have almost totally ridden our community of POLIO, MEASLES, MUMPS, CHICKEN POX, PERTUSSIS that in the past have killed or maimed many for life. When was the last time you heard of a person with polio?
The risk of serious blood clots from using the CONTRACEPTIVE PILL is tens of times more risky than the rare side effects of one vaccine. The risk of dying on the road is far greater again; every year for a hundred years over 1,000 people die on the roads and thousands more are seriously injured are maimed for life. Do you refuse to use the roads? There are serious dangers in BOTOX injections, in BREAST IMPLANTS, in LIP FILLERS, or HORMONE REPLACEMENT. How many people in our community happily undertake these procedures.
Don’t get me started on those who poison themselves daily with alcohol or tobacco. Let alone those who use marijuana, cocaine, or ice! And those QAnon and conspiracy sheep should be locked away.
FOR THE SAKE OF OUR COMMUNITY GET VACCINATED AND STAY AT HOME!
