Lord have Mercy!
I’ve tried to stay away from talking about and/or giving my 2 cents on the Operation Warp Speed produced Vaccines. As best I can, I will continue to bite my tongue about the outrageous marketing of guilt toward people who are skeptical of injecting themselves with the fascinating medical technology that preemptively protects humans from the COVID-19 virus and its variants.
Without revealing my decision on whether or not to partake in the CDC emergency authorized “trust the science” injection treatment – designed to have my body create a “fake” virus, so that my immune system can be activated to create antibodies, so when the REAL COVID-19 shows up, it will be defeated – I am going to share what I think about the growing popularity of people asking:
“Have you been vaccinated?”
Now, before I share what I think, I do want to provide the CDC Guidelines link here.
I’ve read them best I could and based on what the CDC says – not the News, Celebrities, your Momma, your Pastor, and Err’rry Bahdee with an opinion – The question to ask is not whether or not anyone has been vaccinated.
From what I have read on the CDC’s own webpage, it doesn’t matter that you’re vaccinated when it comes to still being able to become infected, ill, and transmit COVID-19.
And so, perchance, the question to ask, if you’re gonna be so bold as to ask another person about their personal health to make a determination as to whether or not to commune with them, is more…
“Are you feeling well?”
And if it must be asked, then it should be asked as politely as possible: not in a prejudging tone or with condemning inflection. If the occasion where such an intrusive inquiry is required for entry to a home or business, then perhaps a sign, conspicuously posted, reading “If you’re not feeling well, You May Not Enter at This Time.” may be appropriate. Certainly, in this example, if possible, advance notification given to guests and patrons would be called for, yes? Perhaps?
In the wake and continued grip of the COVID-19 pandemic, the interest and lobbying for wellness check mandates by the private business sector and citizens are somewhat understandable. I mean, who wants to test positive or get sick with COVID from being at an event where someone had COVID? Here in Chocolate City, an owner of a popular club is lobbying the Mayor and Council Members to legislate the requirement of a Vaccine Passport to enter businesses. By my observation, such a mandate will never happen. Why not?
Let’s go over it:
We’re talking about passing laws that will prevent people from free movement to and fro, in commercial, private, and public spaces, due to potential health risks caused by possible exposure to the COVID-19 virus. Though it may sound like a plausible approach to keeping people safe from spreading the COVID virus at events where people gather, the suggested implementation of this manner of population “control” makes me wonder why it has never been done for other potentially deadly viruses like… yep you guessed it… The Flu.
The Flu is a deadly virus to humans. The Flu kills tens of thousands of Americans a year, and while COVID puts the Flu to shame in terms of the deaths per year, comparing the deaths and/or the death rate between The Flu and COVID is not my point. My point is, traditionally, when people in our society are sick, we don’t do nearly enough personally to:
1.) recognize that we are actually “sick” or “ill”
2.) isolate to help prevent others from catching the “cold” we have
3.) give our bodies the nutrients, minerals, vitamins, and hydration needed to help our immune systems fight the invading virus (and/or bacteria).
4.) rest our bodies (and minds) for the duration of time needed to defeat and recover from illness.
I know. I know. I’m all crunchy granola Homeopathic with this one! But peep game, before the economic shutdown and 2020 declared public health emergency:
How many People feeling “Under the Weather” still came to Work? School? Dinner Parties? Concerts Church/Mosques/Synagogues et al Houses of Worship? Sporting Events?
Yes. You’ve seen sick people in Public and Private places, and you’ve frowned upon them for bringing whatever they were sick with/from into the presence of others. Furthermore, YOU too have been that Person.
Yes, you HAVE been The Sick Person who should have stayed home but because there was something YOU wanted to do or feel like you had to do, YOU decided it was okay to jeopardize the health of others. Right?
Yes, and You were Selfish to do so.
(Rubber on the Road right Here.)
Okay, so You’re Vaccinated. Congratulations and I Will (not wish) you The Blessed of Health moving forward. Oh, you’re not vaccinated and have zero intentions to allow Warp Speed Approved health technology to be injected into you, not even in the face of intense pressure from family, friends, and business owners? Cool, and I absolutely respect that position and decision.
Either way, if you’re Sick – with anything, please stay home until you’re better. Yes, that goes for everyone.
(That’s how I feel about the growing popularity of people asking, “Have you been Vaccinated?”)
