Of Course You Should VAX!

"To vax, or not to vax."

Come on, really? Of course you should VAX!

I am surprised this is even a thing. How has vaccinating, or not vaccinating become a political/cultural hot button topic?

Over here we believe in the scientific method. Vaccinating is a proven technique for avoiding sickness and death. As a little child I remember being vaccinated at school, and taking a sugar cube too.  That is how we avoided Mumps, Chicken Pox, Measles and Polio.

Is this another Blue Bubble thing? I don't know. Seems like common sense. Over here we believe in Vaccination, we believe in Democracy, we believe in common sense, we believe in good cheer, health and happiness.

Yesterday I found myself in a room with a small group of people. Two of us were masked. Everyone was socially/physically distant. And every one of us were in various stages of the vaccination protocol for Covid-19. 

Welcome to the Brave New World.

One of us had one dose of the 2 dose-Moderna vaccine (that would be me), so my immune system is primed and ready for dose # 2 in a couple weeks. One of us had the one dose-Johnson & Johnson vaxx. One of us had 2 of the 2 dose Moderna vax, and one of us had 2 doses of the 2 dose Pfizer vaxx.

There was a bit of a sense that we were stepping into a new reality. A reality where Covid was no longer this cloud of doom and death that it has been looming over us this last year. We could see a glimmer of a post-covid reality. We all are still very careful. We wear masks to protect ourselves, and others too. We keep distant to protect ourselves, and others too.

That just seems like the sensible, responsible, serious and healthy-making way forward...
