- Pastor at church last Sunday interrupted his own message to say that there was 9-member small group that had one member who was sick, and the other 8 went to pray over them. Two were vaxxed, the other six weren't. All eight got sick. The two who were vaxxed recovered within a week, but the other six got wrecked, all hospitalized, and ultimately a young dad with two elementary age kids died. He was due to get his shot 4 days after he got sick. Pastor said hey, I don't want to do any more of these funerals. Just do it.
I hope more churches take that stand because at this stage, this is a heart issue (not cardiac, I mean in the Christian sense), not a logic one. That won't reach 100% of the unvaxxed, but it will hit a big percentage of the conspiracy-spirtualistic-homeopathic medicine crew. I hope.
- WW, I'm a lot more gloomy now because it's largely preventable cases and deaths at this point, and people just won't freaking do the biggest thing that is FREE that could potentially save them, their families, and everyone else a helluva lot of heartache (and possibly their lives). We didn't have the vaccine available last December. We do now, we have for months, it's got the FDA approval, and people are still voluntarily seeking out horse dewormer instead of just taking a freaking shot. It's maddening and it's infuriating.
One of my boss' spouse just beat stage 4 cancer. He and his whole family are vaccinated, thank goodness, but my aunt, currently fighting stage 4, isn't. And my grandparents, who I love dearly and who I know would never cause her harm intentionally, aren't vaccinated either, and Delta is running roughshod in their area and they aren't doing what they need to do to a) protect themselves b) protect my aunt. If she gets covid, while she's fighting the cancer that is filling her lungs with fluid, it will kill her a lot faster than the cancer. My mom went to help her after her second round of chemo earlier this month and was heartbroken her parents weren't doing the easiest thing in the world to protect her. Or themselves. My dad is also high risk and doing what he can to get his booster lined up. His parents aren't going to get the vaccine either. I can't understand it but it's incredibly distressing to me.
- I will also be absolutely Hulk level angry if I get covid again. I have natural immunity plus Pfizer, so odds are low, but they aren't zero.
