What is this new world that we are living in? So many people are sick and it is hard to not feel as if it is their fault since so many of them were not vaccinated. It is a terrible world when people are so frightened by words spoken by politicians that they can’t care for their own health and that of others.
How did we get there? How can we make the changes necessary to create another environment. It is so sad. This virus could have had a better and faster outcome if paranoia had not set in. When people are scared anything can happen.
Who is to blame for all of this. To sort of quote the words of Pope Francis ” When no one is to blame then everyone is to blame.”
I’m not so sure it’s entirely true that everyone is to blame. Many, many doctors have been speaking out against what’s been going on, and not only being censored and smeared, but sacrificing long careers to wake us up. I’m not a doctor, and there are people on both sides of the debate who are way smarter than I am, so I can’t say who’s telling the truth. However, I do tend to lean towards the ones who have everything to lose and nothing to gain for waving the red flags, over the ones making money hand over fist by scaring us all to death. But that’s just me.

I think what Pope Francis meant is that we have to take responsibility, not only for ourselves, but work to help others learn the importance of responsibility

I agree that we all must do our part in any situation. It seems that often now days people feel if they are giving as much, or more, than what they receive our of any situation they are being ripped off. Strange thinking in my mind.
As for the vaccine, there has been so much contrary information given out and now so many vaccinated people getting sick here, it is hard to convince anyone that they help at all anymore. They were a good idea, but Covid seems to be mutating faster than the vaccines can keep up.

Here where I am the people who are getting the new strain and have been vaccinated are not very sick. The hospital where my oldest daughter works has 95 people in house and only 2 of them were vaccinated. the vaccine helps. Just as you can still get the flu if you get the vaccine but it is not as severe. I can live with having a mild case but don’t want to die.

As long as people willingly make themselves host to the virus, there will be more and more mutations and variants. This is basic science. The people refusing the vaccines are making it worse for everyone. The next variant could be benign or it could take out a quarter of the population.

So very true. I just wish we could all work together to get past this.
