Stop me if this sounds familiar: public health “experts” go on a media blitz saying one thing, then weeks later they say something different, then a few weeks after that, they go back to the original thing they said – and pretend that’s what they were going with all along. That is what’s going on RIGHT NOW with the mixed messaging on the Coronavirus Vaccine – and it’s giving me whiplash.
With the new information available now, CDC guidance for fully vaccinated people to wear masks indoors on some occasions, I’m just as confused as anyone else. Mind you, the same people pushing vaccination as the “standard” lately were openly sowing doubt about it back when the Other Guy was in charge. Now, these Vaccine Warriors want to make it their mission to get EVERYONE vaccinated via an unholy brew of shaming, finger-wagging, and entertainment industry coddling.
It is a JOKE. I’m neither anti-vaccine nor pro-vaccine. If you want it, take it. If you don’t, don’t. But the powers that be have to realize how confused they’re making the vast majority of Americans who simply don’t know WHAT to think! Why would anyone take the vaccine if the new CDC guidance suggests they could still get or transmit the new variant? What good is the vaccine then? Also, what is the point of the vast majority of the 99.8% of people who will get COVID and recover from getting the vaccine when it obviously isn’t going to change their lives either way?
I suspect that this latest round of COVID fearmongering is about more control, more authority, more of the authoritarians that loved the power they wielded for the past year, not wanting to give it up.
Like I said: take the vaccine or don’t take the vaccine…but with this amount of incredibly mixed messaging, those who are pushing it shouldn’t be surprised that people are tuning out.
