Take the vaccine or spit at it, you have a choice

AGAIN there have been varying views on the phenomenal vaccine.

More than enough to further confuse this most confounding “thingee” (note I haven't used any “controversial” term like “virus”, “epidemic” or “pandemic”).

That just made my beloved brother-in-law vanish from this earthly abode merely two weeks ago.

He just happened to drop his guard and possibly allowed that dreadful “thingee” to infiltrate his alveoli and clog his lungs.

In a desperate bid to reduce the speed at which this evil “spirit” is annihilating mankind, the usual vested interests (aka the Pharmaceutical Boys) work round the clock to rig up an antidote. That’s what these institutions do.

They did not invent sunburn so they could counteract it by producing sunburn cream. Similarly, what came first, Aspirin or headaches? Salbutamol or asthma? Necessity is the granny of invention. Capitalists have had grannies.

They are the first to know to quickly make hula hoops for restless waists and butts. And laugh all the way to the bank in the rush. Invest billions of money in anti-cancer research.

Not like Madame Curie for the benefit of man. To make some hardearned cash. Without that lust, “sorry mate, find that cure yourself”.

“Go use turmeric powder, salt and apple cider vinegar and the best of British luck!"

I too was against taking any infiltrating muti in the form of a tablet, solution or injection.

My son, living abroad, places a gun to my head: “Dad take the vaccine if you want me to pop by!” Period.

At 76, I really can’t be bothered whether I involuntarily and automatically kneel down and point to the sky in praise of the Lord, or in fear of the devil, whenever somebody mentions Bill Gates, or faint whenever somebody mentions “some chip of that old blockhead is interred in that vial”.

Take the vaccine, or spit at it.

It’s a choice.

Let’s not use our very limited knowledge to sway people either way.

There are people who don’t believe in evolution, in spite of evidence spanning millions of years.

They refuse to believe that the Maker could not get it right first time!

There are still educated menfolk who believe the Earth is flat.

Like the majority that know very well that their race, their religion is the correct one. All else is nonsense.

And obviously each of them is right. Therefore all are wrong. Confused? Of course. You have a right to be that too.
