My heart hurts that people are so eager to see their friends that the are minimizing the clear and present danger covid causes to previously healthy people. I cannot stand on the blood of my friends and neighbors anymore- our willingness to make covid a political issue instead of the disaster it is is horrifying. I put myself at risk to see these people everyday and meanwhile my kids’ school had covid positive kids coming to school for an extracurricular activity. Heaven forbid anyone report them for playing with our children’s lives and allowing them all to be exposed to illness. I’m literally scared for us. How callous can we be? |
Totally agree with you. I really hate it.

If you want to know the truth, PM Elfrida. She's a nurse, and has all the latest medical information.
No conspiracies, no agenda, just facts and figures.
Every singe person who works in the medical field in any way whatsoever, is getting the vaccine. These are some of the people we can LEAST afford to lose. I doubt the government is trying to kill off all of our first responders and front line medical staff.

Effect is a noun, like what are the side effects?
Affect is a verb, like how will the vaccine affect me?

No one knows anything. You have opinions and follow the doctors who back them up. That's fair. Everyone is doing what they feel is right.
The vaccine is not different. We don't know if it'll work or if it'll cause more damage. Everyone will react differently. We just won't hear the negative effects on mainstream media which is a little scary. But it is what it is...
Its a free country (for now...)
Not everyone should be mandated to get vaccinated if they feel it isn't right for them. And the many that do I hope it works so they get peace of mind.

Actually, it's the other way around. The media loves to jump on horror stories of some 92 year old man who had a heart condition, and died after he got the vaccine. They make it sound like EVERYONE WILL DIE! just because of that one case.
(ETA: I posted this before I read about the sister in the hospital. Autoimmune reactions are very rare, but they can be serious. She should have a refuah sheleimah.)
It is definitely a free country, and you have a choice. Vaccinate your kids, don't vax and send them to a school full of non vaxxers, or homeschool. Don't send your sick kids to school, thank you. Not everyone enjoys a measles (or Covid) party.
Affect vs. effect:
When do you use effect or affect (or in past tense, affected or effected)? Affect v effect are easy to get confused. Affect is usually a verb, and it means to impact or change. Effect, on the other hand, is usually a noun that you would use to indicate the result of a change. Because “affect” and “effect” are homophones (words that sound alike), they are often confused. We’ll share some easy tips on telling them apart.
