We humans spend time wiping out the creatures that we don’t like from all over the planet and now something has turned on us and is wiping a lot of us out. Tit-for-tat it seems to me.
I’ve had two shots of the vaccine, even though I don’t think it’s been trialled for long enough, because if it helps me protect other people I’ll chance it. I believe in science.
Some people have their own ethical reasons for not having the vaccine, and in a country that is still a relative democracy, I think that’s their right.
I do know that locally, those in aged care and disability, volunteers and paid workers alike who haven’t been immunised, can’t at the moment work in their fields. This means that those who need the care aren’t getting the same attention because the remaining workers are too stretched. Tough times.
