Where do we go from here

 When this pandemic was just kicking off in China, I met s young man at WalMart. He was wearing a surgical mask.  I didn't ask, but he saw me looking at him.  He explained that his girlfriend had just returned from China and that there was a pandemic and it would spread all over the world.  He said that we had better all start wearing masks.  I kinda scoffed at this, but didn't really blow it off.  This was in late December of 2019.  Well what happened next is history.  We are indeed in the middle of a pandemic and we have a huge portion of our population that is stupid and proud of it.  The "I got my rights crowd" are the ones spreading the virus now.  It is a virus of the stupid spread to everyone else.  And I have had these argument with those in my own family.  Your individual freedoms do not override the safety and health of your fellow citizens.You absolutely have the right to kill yourself, but you do not have the right to kill others and that is what you do when you refuse to wear a mask and vaccinate.  In my opinion, if you do this and then knowingly spread it, then you should be charged with attempted murder.  I will go further and say that you should not receive medical care nor take a hospital bed if you refuse to get the vaccine and take precautions. You gave up that right when you refused to protect the very soldier on the front lines of this war-the medical profession.  You damn sure do not have a  right to kill them.  So if you want to be stupid and proud of it, stay away from the hospitals and practice your right to kill yourself. If this sounds harsh, so be it.  I am fed up with everyone including members of my own family that use 1) you can't compare this to pandemics in the past because that is gone. 2) The vaccine is not proven safe.3) Why aren't they pushing blacks to take it.

I lived through the polio epidemic.  I took that vaccine gladly.  I also took smallpox vaccine.  It was horrible.  I also had measles and it was horrible.  Only polio and smallpox, to me, would compare to Covid.  So if it takes taking a shot every year for the rest of my life, I will do so.  And shame on those who won't do so to protect their own children.
