Over and over again, I hear folks say they regret not getting vaccinated. Many who are being infected by the delta and lambda strain of the coronavirus are dying. Those who refuse to get vaccinated pose the greatest risk of another wave of this deadly pandemic.
This pandemic has cost over 645,000 lives in the United States. There is no end in sight.
Republicans are deliberately trying to sabotage President Joe Biden's agenda in handling this pandemic.
They are refusing to enforce the federal mandates when it comes to preventing Americans to protect themselves from the pandemic. To this folks, the vaccination is more dangerous than the virus.
To these folks, wearing a face mask makes them look ridiculous.
To these folks, Dr. Anthony Fauci, not Washed Up 45 bungled the biggest health crisis in a lifetime.
You may have lost a family member, friend, co-worker or a neighbor to the coronavirus. Their last breaths are through a ventilator.
Many hospitals in the South are running out of beds for COVID-19 patients. Some doctors have to abandon minor surgeries due to the high intake of unvaccinated patients who experience severe symptoms of the delta strain.
Fauci had said that coronavirus is mutating into a boldly resistant parasite. Those who refuse to get vaccinated are more likely to face the vaccine resistant version of the delta strain.
A Utah County woman was convinced her faith-based decision to keep her family-of-six unvaccinated was right, but that feeling didn’t last long after her husband contracted a severe case of COVID-19. Now, he’s fighting for his life in the hospital.
Months ago, Mindy Greene’s husband, Russell, told her to decide what the family should do: vaccine or no vaccine.
She prayed about it and said she went forward with her answer: the family would be fine without it.

She felt good about it. Even when her two sons came home from summer camp with the Delta variant, she still felt like she had made the right decision.
“Even four or five days into it, I texted one of my friends. I’m like, ‘This ain’t bad,'” Mindy told KSL-TV.
That feeling didn’t last.
“Then, my husband got it,” said Mindy.
That’s when everything changed. Within four days, Russell was in the ICU.
That was July 1. He hasn’t been home since.
“When you come in, we call it COVID Row,” described Mindy. “Right now, we’re one of the lucky ones because my husband is still alive.”
Mindy shared her story because she said she knows there are so many others just like her who have been deceived by bad information from so-called experts online.
“I do believe it’s really hard to get an answer when the noise around you is so loud,” she said.
Mindy said she regrets that decision every minute of every day as she watches her once strong, healthy, outgoing 42-year old husband fight for his life.
“My husband was perfectly healthy,” she said with an exhausted look on her face.
She’s spent every day of the last six weeks by her husband’s side.
Russell has six chest-tubes, his lungs have holes where they’ve collapsed, and just Wednesday, he had another major surgery. A surgery, she said, doctors informed her afterwards, they were surprised he survived.
And while she’s been filled with regret, when they arrived at their first ICU in early July, she was mad.
Russell had some strong words for her.
“My husband told me, ‘You need to have faith that Jesus Christ still lives and miracles still happen or I won’t make it out alive,’” said Mindy.
So, she begrudgingly pushed forward with faith.
“I can tell you now, he was right that day,” she said.
Over the past several weeks, Mindy has come forward on social media, sharing her message of regret.
The Greene family wasn't the only ones who have regrets about not being vaccinated.
39-year-old Eketrina Wilson was diagnosed with COVID-19 on July 17. Two days later, she ended up in the ICU and spent five days in the hospital.
"I didn't think it would be this bad," Wilson said.
She shared her regret Tuesday during a Zoom interview with Wake Forest Baptist Health.
Wilson said she thought her age would protect her from COVID-19 and wishes she could go back in time and get the vaccine.
Of course, there's folks who are fully vaccinated but end up getting the coronavirus. As with vaccines, nothing is 100%. The vaccines are capable of preventing the coronavirus. At best, it's a 94% prevention rate which means 1 out of 500 could be infected even if they're vaccinated.
President Joe Biden had hopes that Americans would take this shit seriously. Unfortunately, Republicans so fucking eager to return to power will keep Americans fixated on the culture wars. Now vaccinations are part of this culture war.
But those fighting the culture war by not vaccinating, not wearing face mask in public, not following protocols, and deliberately ignoring federal and international rules when traveling are going to be the first casualties of the war.
With this pandemic mostly affecting states where Republican governors are, we may have to return to wearing facial protection and cutting back services to reduce the spread of the coronavirus.
We came so far only to have a bunch of selfish idiots set it back. Just because they hate President Joe Biden.
The Republicans are so devoted to destroying Biden and the country for what....to regain power.
Pathetic.
According to the CDC, there is still not enough information on antibodies for COVID-19 and whether they can prevent someone from getting reinfected. It still recommends that people with a positive antibody test follow recommendations for protecting themselves and others.
The coronavirus doesn't care about your age, race, gender, sexuality, nationality, religion, politics, economic or social standings. It doesn't care about anything. It's a living organism that causes mild symptoms that include: fever, sore throats, chills, respiratory issues, loss of taste or smell and other unknown symptoms. If you have a weak immune system or health issues, your risk increases.
Death does happen to at least 40% of those who are affected by COVID-19.
If you're not vaccinated, your chances of death increases to 48%.
Healthy people can die from this. Take this seriously. You only have one life!
