I Don't Understand It.
"Anti-Vax Sentiment."
Nope. Don't get that either.
Did you ever come down with Polio? Me neither.
Polio Elimination in the United States. "Thanks to a successful vaccination program, the United States has been polio-free since 1979." That's just one good example of what a vaccine can do for the Human Herd.
The last few days around my town there is a real feeling of optimism and sunshine. Seems most of the folks in my Progressive Blue Bubble are now fully vaxxed. Things are loosening & opening up. Folks are out and about, outdoor dining, hanging at the local micro-brewery, active on the paths and walkways. Folks have their masks handy, but now we are starting to feel confident and safe around other folks who have been vaccinated and we are letting our masks, and guards, down.
We are like the Clay People from the Valley of Desolation, emerging from our caves, emerging from the walls out into the sunlight. We have lately seen folks who we haven't seen in over a year. Amazing. Lots of smiles and tentative hugs.
We know that the pandemic is not over. There will be spikes and there are malicious variants loose on the planet. We hope our Blue Bubble continues to be a safe bubble. We hope the rest of the Human Herd joins the Community of Immunity. It would be nice to leave Covid-19 behind and move forward into a Brave New Reality.
