GET VACCINATED

GET VACCINATED

 There are some fringe “anti-vaxxers” in the country, who would rather risk their children becoming deathly ill or dying from childhood diseases such as measles, mumps and diphtheria, rather than vaccinate them as infants.  There are other fringe groups that resist life and disease saving vaccinations because they feel that their rights and freedom of choice are being violated.

 And then there are those who are just confused by the inconsistent debates and politicization of the Covid vaccine issue to the point that they are hesitant, and unsure about the efficacy of the Covid vaccines, particularly since they were developed in such a short time frame.

 Notwithstanding all of the above, it has been scientifically and medically proven that the three anti-Covid vaccines available in this country, Pfizer, Moderna and Johnson & Johnson, all work exceedingly well to prevent Covid infections and death.  The upshot to all eligible unvaccinated Americans is: “GET VACCINATED”.  The shots are free, readily available, and cause a minimum of side effects.

 They are not chicken or pig based.  They are biologically engineered, mRNA based.  They may result in a slightly sore arm or other minor reaction, but THEY MAY SAVE YOUR LIFE, particularly if you are older or have medical issues.

 President Trump initiated and oversaw the development of the “Warp Speed” program to produce effective vaccines within nine months.  Unfortunately, progress on the vaccines was met with bitter anti-Trump rhetoric, with Kamala Harris and others saying, “I won’t take the vaccines if Trump says they’re OK.”  Also, the release of the vaccines was held up until after the November presidential election, so that President Trump would not get positive publicity prior to the election.

 The vaccines were denigrated by the democrats and their media and big tech accomplices because President Trump had a hand in their development, and of course, this confused the issue further for the uninformed American public.

 The heavy-handed Biden cabal just stomps all over the First Amendment by their “big brother” tactics threatening citizens if they don’t get vaccinated.  The cause to get everyone vaccinated is valid, but many people resent the tactics they use.

 So, it is no wonder that many Americans refuse to get vaccinated.  Vacillating politicians, scientists and doctors have sown confusion in the American public to the point where many people really have forgotten the importance of getting vaccinated.  And as Joe Biden is wont to say “PEOPLE ARE DYING”; only not from Facebook, - from confusion historically disseminated by the democrats.
