Opinion
So, you don't intend to get vaccinated against Covid-19. Wow, does that make you feel big and tough? I think it makes you look small, weak and foolish.
I realise there are people who, because of health issues, religious ties, peer pressure or believing the conspiracy theories, will not bevaccinated.
However, how would you feel if you, because you decided not to get “the jab”, gave Covid to your parents, your children, your wife etc. Imagine your grandparents struggling to breathe because you were too arrogant to be vaxxed.
Are you afraid of a needle? Do you think your “mates” might think less of you? Wouldn't you be doing a hell of a lot more for your family and community if you received the “jab” and then told your mates to do the same?
Would you rather look forward to a future where we return to some sort of normality, or not be vaxxed and potentially die on a bed with a tube stuck in your mouth?
If you did become afflicted, would you expect an ambulance to pick you up and take you to hospital? Would you expect our amazing doctors and nurses to care for you? I bet you would.
As far as I am concerned, if you refuse to get vaccinated then you don't deserve any help. You brought it on yourself.
Wake up, smell the roses, and be thankful that there is a way to escape this dreadful virus — that way is vaccination.
I have had two vaccinations and it is the most wonderful feeling to know that I'm so much less likely to catch Covid, to get seriously ill if I do, or to pass this “Covid” monster on to anybody else.
The choice is yours. To have a future for you and your family, or to gasp for breath; it's simply up to you.
