Lets face it! There are no winners in this battle against the insidious COVID! No one (yet) knows why or how this virus was released, and when you sit back and think about it, it doesn't really matter now! It's out there and we have to deal with it or die! Simples!!!
I feel so sorry for all those hard working folk who have lost their jobs, and even sorrier for the companies which employed them. They are all losing their livelihood and their dreams and future, and they deserve better.
The media tend to beat the truth up out of all proportion, but that's what they do, so once we realise that, we can start thinking for ourselves! THINKING FOR OURSELVES??? Whoa there pardner! Maybe we just listen to some redneck cretin on Faceplant who thinks it's a great idea to turn a "peaceful protest" into a capsicum spray-breathing outing where we can make out we're genuine hi vis clad workers and get on national TV kicking in the windows of a police car. Sheet, who's gonna pay for that one, Hoss?
The facts are: This virus will be with us for a long, long time! We will never completely beat it, but we can lessen it's effectiveness by getting vaccinated. So, you have something against taking something into your veins that you think might have detrimental effects to your health? Now you tell me!!! What about all the food you've crammed into your mouths over the years, and you never checked out the contents of those concoctions, did you? What about all the pills you've popped over the years to get rid of a headache caused by your over indulgence in alcohol? Did you ever read the packet to see exactly what paracetomol was?
Those who know me say I'm a straight thinker, and they also know I've lived a good life by not bucking the trends or doing the wrong thing! Don't get me wrong though! I'm not Mr Marvellous who never ever erred. I have, on many occasions, but I tend to believe that if it's good for the goose, it's good for me. That makes me another goose, does it? Well OK then. I'm a goose, but I've had both my vaccinations, AND my Flu shot AND my shingles shot, I haven't attended any illegal or violent protests, I wear a mask when required and I certainly haven't attacked our police and been pepper-sprayed for my efforts!
And I'll be here long after all those who refuse to be jabbed, and I'll volunteer to bury them in mass graves when our public health system is overwhelmed by the many strains of COVID yet to hit us. And hit us it will. Sooner, if we don't protect ourselves, our families and our neighbours by getting jabbed.
That's my take on things. Cheers and stay safe.
