Hi Everyone,
Every once in a while, procrastination works in my favour. This is what I mean.
Today’s blog was started last week, yet I allowed life to get in the way for longer than I would have liked. So yesterday, I decided to finish and post this blog. And I am glad all of those little distractions happened. Like so many of us, I, too, know people who are unvaccinated and some are hardcore anti-vaxxers. Just for the record, I do not want to hear their points of view. I get it.
The unvaccinated and anti-vaxxers think there is some conspiracy going on and they don’t trust the government. Yet how many of those people who don’t trust the government are getting and have been getting government money every month in some cases for years? If you aren’t going to trust the government, maybe you should not be getting government money. Just saying. And I am saying that because one anti-vaxxer, who is on welfare, told me that he won’t get vaccinated because he doesn’t know what is in the vaccine. My thought was, “Really, because you have been addicted to street drugs for years and you have never known what was in them, yet that is okay?” That is the reverse logic we are dealing with. Needless to say, that was a very short and unwelcomed conversation.
Another anti-vaxxer I know, lives in a McMansion and has worked from home even before the pandemic began. If she needs something she can either order it online or have her vaccinated her husband, (he needed to be vaccinated for work), or one of her vaccinated kids, because they need to go to school, get whatever she needs. I know she leaves her house, just not as often as other anti-vaxxers. She has convinced a few other (impressionable) people not to be vaccinated though. Howard Stern is not impressed with the unvaccinated.
In today’s Toronto Sun, Howard Stern is quoted as saying, “If it was up to me, anyone unvaccinated would not be admitted to a hospital. At this point, they have been given plenty of opportunity to get the vaccine.” Howard Stern also said, “…It’s time for you to get it. Now, if you don’t get it, in my America, all hospitals would be closed to you. You’re going to go home and die. That is what you should get. Absolutely.” And later he is quoted as saying, “We don’t want you … stay home, die there with your COVID. Don’t take the cure, but don’t clog up our hospitals with your COVID when you finally get it. Stay home, don’t bother with science, it’s too late. Go f— yourself, we just don’t have time for you.” And I don’t have time for them either.
If you are going to be an unvaccinated anti-vaxxer stay home, work from home, create your own job if you don’t have one, don’t go out and breath on people, don’t go out and protest that you need a job and can’t get one because you won’t get vaccinated. That was and still is your decision. People, like myself, are caring less about the unvaccinated and anti-vaxxers every day.
According to a poll conducted by Maru Public Opinion between January 14th and the 15th, found in the same Toronto Sun, article, 37% of Canadians are in favour of harsh punishments for the unvaccinated stating that it would be acceptable to deny them publicly-funded health care–and 27% stated that it would be OK to go as far as a short jail sentence.
Putting someone in jail for not getting vaccinated is a bit dumb since Ontario has been releasing some pretty hard-core criminals because of COVID, but I get it. People are so fed up with the anti-vaxxers ruling and some cases destroying our lives and lively hoods, that they aren’t thinking clearly. And that is the thing: if we, as a society were thinking clearly, the anti-vaxxers who insist on being out and about, spreading every variant of COVID that there is and ever will be, would be punished, but they aren’t. Instead, our governments have allowed fully vaccinated people to die as they wait for life-saving medical treatment, operations and the like because the rights of the unvaccinated, anti-vaxxers come first. That is reverse logic at its best.
The only silver lining is all of this is for me is that CJ will not be working on set until she decides to get vaccinated which I am hoping is never. If you don’t know why I am referring to CJ, here is a link to a blog about her. It is called, I Am Not the Only One Who is Back, http://arebelsrant.com/i-am-not-the-only-one-who-is-back/
Thank you for reading, A. Rebel’s Rant! ;D
