Ok so there’s lots to winge about with this COVID-19 crisis, but I must hone in on the mask-wearing wingers, and the mask-wearing avoiders: this message is for you!

First, I need to remind you that at this point in time, there is NO vaccine for Covid-19.

Now, let me remind you of all the diseases you have NOT caught because of vaccinations, such as: polio, tuberculosis, measles, German measles, smallpox, whooping cough, tetanus, influenza, and more recently chicken pox, although my kids just missed out on the latter by a few short years.  They both got it, my daughter violently so, and still bears the scars.

If you are an anti-vaxxer and patting yourself on the back because your kids have not contracted these diseases, I remind you that this is because the high percentage of your child’s cohort HAVE been vaccinated, so this just happens to be fortunate for your child.  Once vaccination levels fall below a certain threshold, well you are playing fast and loose with your loved ones’ health in regard to these deadly diseases.

All of the above are potential killers, and depending on the after effects of each if you did manage to contract these illnesses and survive, you may have preferred NOT to be dealing with after-effects such as sterility, paralysis, scarring, and so on.

So, for now, just until the medicos do manage to churn out a vaccine – isn’t it just the easiest thing to wear a mask, a bandana, whatever!  There are lots of ideas out there – just have a bit of fun with it and don’t rant on about ‘your rights.’

It’s a VERY small price to pay to keep yourself and your community as safe as possible until medical science can catch up!
