Please read the whole post before replying, I don’t want people to read one line and suddenly respond with hate. I have two main points here, why you should NOT protest at hospitals and how it’s making matters worse and about the vaccine.
- Don’t protest at Hospitals
I am fully vaccinated and completely disagree with the hospital protests. It isn’t that you can’t protest the vaccine mandate, you do have the right, but you shouldn’t protest at hospitals because of the chaos you have created. This is the abuse of that right. As well, it is incredibly disrespectful to people who have lost loved ones, those who have loved ones on their deathbeds and those undergoing extensive treatment whether it be from COVID or not. I know that many patients are in pain from having their surgeries canceled and that this whole situation is very bad. I strongly feel that protesting at the hospitals is pointless because not only are you getting bad media attention but the hospitals aren’t actually in charge of the mandate at all. You are instilling fear for no reason by protesting at hospitals.
- Vaccine
Now, about the vaccine. I don’t think it is ethical to literally bribe people to get the vaccine. Apparently they are offering plane tickets, vacations packages and even sums of money to get vaccinated but is it really ethical to do these things? I am fully vaccinated but I don’t quite trust what these incentives imply. I will acknowledge that it is an experimental vaccine but there has at least been some change in the numbers that we have been provided. In the end, you will have to follow these measures and eligible people for the vaccine aren’t really given a choice. There has been at least some evidence that the vaccine is effective at facing the virus and because the virus exists, you must be careful.
I know everything is difficult right now, and we don’t have many choices so we have to be there for each other. We are divided now and because we are divided the whole situation is getting worse.
Stay safe, please if you reply, do so respectfully and do not bash others. There are two sides from what we are being shown on the media so it’s extremely difficult to try to find a balance.
