It’s been nearly a week since President Joseph R. Biden addressed the nation regarding the COVID-19 vaccination mandate. Citizens are threatening to walk off the job. Military personnel are threatening to be discharged voluntarily. Companies are trying to decide whether to comply. States are filing lawsuits, and kids, per usual who are the most at risk these days, don’t have a say. The demand to vaccinate has everyone’s hair in a bunch.
The vaccinated blame the unvaccinated for the prolonged effect of COVID-19, and the unvaccinated blames the government. Both sides have good points. The vaccinated shout, “do it for the greater good.” The unvaccinated complain, “I have the freedom to decide what goes into my body.” Here is the rub. Again, both sides of the issue make sense. However, common lifesaving procedures go unattended because the hospital’s priority is COVID-19 patients.
Therefore, the heart patient, cancer patient, ruptured spline patience, car accident victim, etc., go without receiving the necessary care to save their lives. Quite a few people have perished not from COVID-19, but the lack of medical care that is essential due to the lack of space in hospitals. It is becoming commonplace, and it is unacceptable.
To curb this occurrence, President Joseph R. Biden is no longer encouraging vaccination. He is demanding vaccination amongst the federal, medical, and private company workforce. The demand to vaccinate makes sense when you look at the big picture. The mutations occur because not enough people are vaccinated. The virus may never be eradicated, but with vaccination, it can be slowed to a crawl.I know quite a few people who choose not to get the vaccination. The demand to vaccinate mandate threatens to hit them in their wallets. Unless you are independently wealthy, getting a vaccination is not worth losing your livelihood. Slowly, people will comply, and hopefully, we can put this horrific pandemic behind us.
