Are you going to take the vaccine?

[Ohr Ein Sof]

On the good news side of things. Canada has started receiving doses again.  We can expect to have vaccinated all those who wants it before September.

This should ensure we do not get a third wave of enforced closures/distantiation again this autumn.  It's been more than a year that I have been allowed to see my parents.  I think I am ready for this thing to be put behind us.  I'm probably not the only one.

You are not even allowed to see your parents? That is awful.

In Quebec you can't even leave the house after 8pm, unless you have a dog to walk, let alone visit family. Where I am I technically can't visit anyone (or they see me), but I can shop at Walmart to my heart's content. It's an upside down world full of insane people driven by propaganda and fear, not by any sound principals. It used to be flatten the curve for 2 weeks, now no one is allowed to get sick at all, or get screened with any viral chunks in their system (but thank goodness the flu and pneumonia have been somehow completly eradicated...go figure it's a miracle!). I could go on about how the stats are being manipulated (this coming from health practitioners), how the media are claiming overfilled hospitals that are really empty (but meanwhile other hospitals being artificially stacked with the majority of patients) or how they justify more lockdown measures in areas because there's a 100% increase in cases (so 1 person increasing to 2). It's not a conspiracy theory, people are witnessing the govt and media lying to them in real time, some health workers are blowing the whistle and getting fired, and incompetence/inhumane policy is destroying the old age and special needs homes. There are literally crimes against humanity being actualised by mismanagement, and history will not view this kindly.

I'm not go to debate any of this, I am seeing it play out first hand, and so are many others. And of course we are being tar and feathered, because the establishment is never kind to those who question their actions, and many will be happy to police us on their behalf.

Ok I'm out, too worked up lol.

LOL

Ok I'm out, too worked up lol.

It really makes a human being angry when it witnesses injustices being done before one's eyes. If you didn't care, you wouldn't be worked up (imagine how much care you contain by the feeling of wanting to help but cannot...you may want to look at the aspect of helplessness too btw) . I also find myself in your position. I am in the USA and the state in which I reside in is fully opened and when there was a mask mandate I was asked to leave some stores due to my refusal to wear a mask. I did not wear a mask because of the my liberty to say and to signal to myself, "what is being done to my human brothers and sisters is disgusting, I am not sick and I am not afraid to be sick". Was I afraid of hospitals? you bet. If I had come down with a common cold during the summer I would have avoided the hospitals because they were paid money to report CoV patients and were incentavized further to report CoV deaths. Public Hospitals especially. I was forced to face my own mortality truthfully. Which worked out in my benefit. I even contracted CoV from my doctor's office and it was like having a mild flu.
Fear is the destroyer of dreams and freedom. Denial of fear is the lurker that destroys dreams and freedom under the radar, behind one's back.
I am glad you care so much. So much that you become "worked up". Passion is not a bad thing as long as we know how to direct it.
