Mask no mask, vaccine no vaccine? I support freedom of choice, how could you not but NHS workers see the horrors of the virus before their eyes everyday! Why would you not be vaccinated. They have seen death on an unprecedented scale since the start of this pandemic, how can you refuse to be jabbed? What is worse is we cannot afford to lose them, there aren’t enough of them to begin with. I wonder if any patients have had the presence of mind to ask staff if they have been? My daughter in law, as I have written before is a Matron who runs a care unit for discharged patients and therefore she and her staff visit homes all over the area, she and they did not hesitate to get vaccinated. They had a couple of positive tests along they way and in the early days a couple of cases but as she says, the protection is not just for her but for her patients.
Now I suspect if you have not been vaccinated by now you are not ever going to be and I also suspect that most unvaccinated will probably not catch the virus? That however is no excuse as far as I am concerned. We all have our opinion and much has been said and written about the merits of being vaccinated, a lot of it nonsense and some of of it scientifically accurate. Sure there is always some risk to any vaccine, human physiology is complicated and unpredictable but the vast majority of us will be unaffected. Let me ask you this, if you were admitted to hospital with an ailment and the medical advise was to be injected with a medicine that could protect you from further illness, you probably would not hesitate to have it? You might ask if there were an side effects but you certainly would not spend time on the internet researching every conceivable theory on its efficacy?
There have been two sides to this debate, from the beginning, neither is completely right and neither is completely wrong. Each side is entrenched in there belief, each side claims to be right? I am firm in my belief, which side I am on. I have always believed in medicine, it has saved my life and will not abandoned my belief in it now simply because there is a cacophony of noise that shouts it is bad for me!
Stay well
