I am still absolutely flabbergasted at people’s inability to think more than a few inches in front of their noses, to imagine the future and situation they are giving themselves by refusing a vaccine we know reduces death at least 20x in a normal adult. I think the math is still out on kids, but forgoing easy preventative measures like masks and vaccines is the worst thing to do to our children. I will write about that tomorrow, FEBRUARY 1 about what having a pre-existing condition arching into adulthood has been like. I didn’t get any practice pre-adulthood, however, as I literally turned 19 on the OR table. My disease did not have any vaccine to prevent its presentation, and though I know better practices to avoid big problems now, I could not imagine having a tool as easy as a vaccine to give your body that practice it needs to avoid larger issues and deciding, nah, my immune system is magic, everything is fine and possibly sentencing yourself to worse up to death. So many of these people have gotten sick already, and some have survived, sure, but what do we know about their internal organs Nothing unless you get a CT scan, which even I have had done in the past few months. That might show any vessels experiencing any issues w/their endothelium and show any issues w/in the brain and lungs. I’ve had ECHOS as well, but ultimately everyone who got it needs to be careful regardless of their vaccination status.
The irony, of course is those refusing vaccines are getting on-the-job training the vaccine could have given them to suffer less anyways, but apparently getting the virus in its pure form is some kind of symbol of commitment to getting it w/out any?!? I don’t get it, as I said, because when your good health is gone, you’d do anything to recapture it. I’m not saying I personally suffer continuously, because I really have learned to live within the means of what my body can do, but I have read enough long COVID commentary it’s becoming clear that spaces in time where people feel well are non-existent for some people. Soon to come are specialized COVID mental health centers because sickness suicide might be added to the bankruptcy suicides I’ve predicted.
Good quality masks, as evidenced by the studies, have worked well in reducing viral transmission. Certainly as a parent, you’d expect you’d be all in on prevention vs giving in to full infection. I mean, shit, most of us do remember when you had to put in a lot of work to experience the better reward. I realize we have become a very instant gratification world and don’t seem to remember how to do that. We like things that make us feel good right, then, things that seem to coddle our senses and sometimes pre-conceived ideas about how things should work, vs how they actually are.
I’ll include here one of the articles I’ve shared before on how another horrible virus, measles, impacted kids who were adopted out a few years later by killing them. For Some kids, Measles becomes a Time Bomb w. No Cure Clearly looking at that might create some cause for alarm-as it created in me when this virus first came to be with the reports of MIS-C affecting so many children as well. I think kids should be allowed to develop free of illness which has even the smallest potential of harming them. Everything we can do to prevent future articles like COVID KIDS: Everyone Got Sick, What Hope Do Future Remedies Hold? But we are awful as human beings at seeing how to prevent our own demise. It’s what’s happening with the bugs, soon to happen to the birds, soon to happen to us, we’re just apparently too simple-minded to be able to think a few steps ahead enough to stop the train that’s coming barreling towards us, poised and ready to demolish all the good we have lived to see.
Here’s another article with the proof the plan to sacrifice your kids’ health is largely GOP led, and hopefully a good source article to start the seed towards full annihilation of a party who took it a few steps too far–sacrificing the health of our children acquiescing to the screams, vs leading people by urging them to cooperate for better. Notice that one side wants you to never cooperate, just antagonize and be opposite of the other, and the other side wants to keep rooting for people to get the money they need to make their lives better. This starve the poor to feed the rich narrative hasn’t proven to be so helpful for people whose well-being has been sacrificed to the feed the richest, who could lose 99.9% of their wealth and still be richer than 99% of us. The absurdity of that being true should really inform the public the rich can give up a fuck of a lot more tax money to support the country a lot of them set up this way to fail having never invested in public health before.

Now beyond the illness you possibly may be sentencing your children to by avoiding giving them this prevention, you aren’t doing kids any favors dying on them. I read this earlier and ultimately I do not celebrate a single American’s death-not a one, but you wonder what kind of ego would put a man in a position to make his kids orphans trying to prove a point to people who don’t care a bit once you’re dead.
