There really is a Pandemic. There really was a wave of people who died due to their age and the lack of a vaccine. This happened elsewhere as well, in other countries all over the world.
Now we have a vaccine and it is working really well in keeping people out of the hospital and not dying. It is free here in the U.S. Most people now in the hospital are not vaccinated. I am so sad for them and their families.
I am a person that thinks that nothing is perfect, but I have learned a lot of things as I suddenly got older. Some of my heroes in my teens were Salk and Sabin. I was a volunteer at Columbus Children's Hospital and I saw kids in Iron lungs. Some people are still crippled for the rest of their lives. I remember quarantines for childhood diseases in the forties.
I am a fiscal conservative and dislike a lot of government involvement but I am also a person who respects traditional medicine and bows to minds more intelligent than my own. I am grateful for the vaccine. I wish everyone would get it.
