What have we done? What are we leaving to our children and grandchildren?
In the last two years, we have watched over 900,000 Americans lose their lives, over a small virus that has deadly consequences. Mostly because some doubting Thomases just can’t or will not see the necessity to vaccinate.
As history has shown, there have always been cases of deadly disease, bacterias, virus, fevers, etc. People did not trust the rabies vaccine, or the yellow fever, anthrax and smallpox vaccines, the defense against cholera and typhoid fever, flu shots — the list is endless. But after time they trusted the doctors and scientists.
Maybe many of you believed a group of leaders that dismissed the virus and said it will go away, or that there are other treatments that will work, but in the end most of them took the shots. Why? Because they worked the best, and they really did not wish to die. Many of those who believed the other theories have paid a deadly price.
Does the shot eliminate your chances of getting the virus? No, but it lessens the degree, no different than another flu or virus shot.
We’re leaving a period in history as the years Americans fought one another over a few simple shots and masking. Run the flag up and be a patriot, and do what is best for everyone. It’s time to rethink what we are doing in long run.
