Gasping for Air!

 

I have simply lost patience with the minority in this country that reject basic science in the name of ‘personal freedom’.  I am watching videos of the most ridiculous emotional outbursts in school board meetings and other public forums of people who won’t wear masks or protect themselves and their families from fatal disease with a tested vaccine.  As I watch these people make fools of themselves I get angry because they are putting me and my family at risk.  They are selfish, rude, and just plain stupid. 

There is legitimate concern or fear if a person has no proof of effectiveness or simple fear of getting a shot or having a physical reaction to an injection, but there is simply no excuse for stupidity in the face of proven science.  The most egregious of these fools are the governors and leaders who should know better.  Look at De Santis of Florida or Abbot of Texas.  These two are evil personified.  Each of them illegally put roadblocks in front of parents who want to protect their children!.....or promote disinformation about some perceived threat of a conspiracy to implant electronic spy devices in our bodies, all in the name of some perceived violation of their freedom!

 

Really???

 

Haven’t children been vaccinated for measles, mumps, chicken pox, smallpox, whooping cough diptheria,

flu, etc. for years as a prerequisite for school entry?  Haven’t we all been vaccinated against polio, pneumonia, shingles and other diseases voluntarily and never complained about surrendering our ‘freedom’ by getting that protection?    What is the conspiracy of these scientific achievements?  Now, all of a sudden, the idiots who claim to be leaders are misinforming and abusing their power simply for political gain or self -aggrandizement.

 

And of course it is no surprise at all that 95% of the victims of the Delta variant are unvaccinated.  These lemmings are the ones clogging our hospitals and sucking up our medical supplies, preventing all the rest of us from emergency care or treatment of chronic disease that is vital to our survival and health.  They are selfish, self-righteous, and just plain dumb.  And they are suffering for it.  They and their family members are needlessly getting sick and dying.  Grief and anguish is the product of their stupidity. 

 

I am aghast at the unvarnished zeal that these fools exhibit as they proselytize their peers to reject science and oppose reason….all in the fallacious pursuit of some perceived threat to their ‘freedom’.  The reason that this pandemic is thriving is because of them.  They are fertile ground for new infection and the possibility of a new mutation of the virus into something virulent that might kill us all! 

 

Our country is so twisted into a knot of hatred at each other, that this has become a political/tribal banner they wave, not based on rational thought.  That, in itself, is a disease that we might not be able to cure at all!   I am tired of all these fools and I have no tolerance for their ignorance.  They need to start thinking and reasoning like semi-intelligent human beings!  Maybe what all the rest of us should do is encourage all the ‘non vaxxers’ and ‘non-maskers’ to gather for a giant rally; hope they all super spread the virus to each other and simply die out.

 

Oh, and watch out!!!  Many of them are running for office and might at some point pass legislation that will ‘legitimize’ their denigration of science and reason and leave all of the rest of us gasping for air!
