The CDC Covid Tracker. Take a look. Nearly the entire country is in red. I want to share the following that I sent to a cousin in an email:
There are certain facts we can believe. Facts that have unfortunately been learned the hard way. No one can deny that the deaths and hospitalizations due to Covid-19 outstripped the capacities of hospitals last year. We know that the virus exists. It's not a figment of our imagination. It is clearly more contagious than the flu. And, it is possibly more deadly, particularly when present in individuals with certain medical conditions. It's frightening because it uses our own immune system to attack us. Our friend becomes our enemy.
Currently we are learning, the hard way, that the majority of the patients being hospitalized for the Covid-19 variant are people who have not been vaccinated.
Yes, some people, as with any of the medications science offers us today, react negatively to the vaccination. But unlike the Covid-19 virus where we know someone or know someone who knows someone that has been hospitalized or even possibly died from the virus, we probably don't know anyone who fell sick from getting vaccinated. And just to get on my "employer" soap-box, these same people who strike because their employer requires vaccination would sue their employer for not providing them adequate protection. I recently went through forensic data gathering for one of my clients in this situation.
It's my opinion that the virus is real, highly infectious, and has the potential to kill; that the government and medical community are scrambling in an attempt to get ahead of something they don't completely understand and are responding to questions without highly qualified facts to a public that is relatively uneducated in the vaccination technology; and the "untested" vaccination is the best weapon we got to fight with. My strategy is to use the weapon I have available and hope we win the battle so we can look back later and find the truth. As my mother would have said "Hindsight is 20/20".
