I am so tired of this narrative. I’m so tired of having pointless conversations that go nowhere about this virus. I’m concerned for the safety of my daughter and kids everywhere because of the unvaccinated idiots (I’m not even calling them people anymore) gallivanting around as if they have something to be proud of. As if their maybe high school or college degree has blessed them with some superior knowledge that the actual doctors, scientists, and epidemiologists of the world somehow missed.
Hospitals all over the country are once again packed, but this time with unvaccinated people. In some states, there isn’t a single ICU bed left. The amount of selfishness I have watched, from afar and up close, regarding this disease makes me sick to my stomach. There are family members I am no longer speaking to because true colors have been shown. The fact that they would even take a chance on infecting others is reason enough for me to be done.
Over 4.7 billion doses have been given with minimal side effects, yet they justify their “freedumb” with outlandish conspiracy theories. Have you ever seen your child on a ventilator? Because I have. It is an image that will forever be burned into my brain. Who would willingly take a chance on that happening to a child? An ignorant, self-centered fuck. That’s who.
Oh, I’m sorry — did I offend you? You have more than offended me with the blood on your hands.
I could have made this post nicer, but I’m all out of patience. And those of you who know me know I stopped sugarcoating things a long time ago.
Now let me end this rant with something different.
Today, Poppy woke up with a sore throat, so we kept her home from school. I texted her teacher, and shortly after, the school director called me. I explained what was going on — that Quinn had a sore throat earlier in the week, had been tested for COVID, and his result was negative. I told her Poppy probably caught the same thing and I wasn’t overly concerned. She agreed, but to be cautious, she asked if we would come to the school’s outdoor area for a rapid COVID test.
We did.
Poppy’s test came back negative, thankfully, but we are keeping her home until her throat feels better.
I am so impressed with her school and the systems they have put in place to keep everyone as safe as possible during these unprecedented times. The kids will continue to wear masks, which is absolutely the right decision — despite what our governor says.
I doubt this post will change the mind of an anti-vaxxer or anti-masker. But maybe Google “child on a ventilator.” Or “child with cancer and no immune system.”
If that doesn’t move you, I don’t know what will.
